Embedded, not re-rendered

Print several PDF pages per sheet

Save paper: put two or four pages on one side, or impose a folded booklet whose page order already accounts for folding.

The layout is built in this tab. Your document is never uploaded.

Short answer: pick 2-up, 4-up or booklet, choose the paper and download. Pages are embedded, so text stays selectable and images keep their quality; a booklet pads the document to a multiple of four and tells you how many blank pages it added.

Why a booklet is not just “two pages per sheet”

A folded booklet prints page 1 and the last page on the same side, because the sheet is folded in half and the outer face is what you see first. Imposing that order by hand is the part people get wrong. The tool computes it, so duplex printing with “flip on long edge” and a single fold produces a document that reads in order without any page shuffling afterwards.

When 4-up looks bad

Four A4 pages on one A4 sheet is a quarter scale: fine for a slide deck you will read at a desk, poor for anything with 8 pt footnotes. If the text matters, 2-up is the honest choice; if you only need an overview, 4-up halves the paper again.

N-up questions

What order does the booklet use?

A booklet is imposed so that folding and stapling the stack puts the pages in reading order: the first sheet carries the last page and the first page, the back of it carries the second and second-to-last, and so on. Print double-sided with “flip on long edge”, fold the stack in half, and the pages read correctly.

Does anything get cut off?

No. Each page is scaled down to fit its cell with the original aspect ratio kept, so a wide chart gets white space rather than losing an edge. The trade-off is that a dense A4 page printed 2-up is half size, which is why 4-up is best for handouts and reference sheets.

What are the fold guides?

A thin dashed line down the middle (and across, for 4-up) drawn into the page itself. They print, so turn them off when the sheet is the final deliverable and on when you are folding by hand.

Why does a booklet add blank pages?

A folded booklet needs a multiple of four pages to close properly. If the document has six pages, two blanks are added at the end and the result line says so — silently changing the page count would be worse.
