Post by thread:[OT]: .PDF file printing

Does anyone know anything like that program that print .DOC files in 4 pages per sheet of paper, but to be used in PDF files? I have a lot of text PDFs and I'd love to print it in a smaller size... --------------8<-------Corte aqui-------8<-------------- All the best!!!

To print 2-up, 4-up, n-up pages is a function of your printer driver and your printer capability. However, if you have Acrobat Distiller, you can use it's printer driver to output n-up page. Regards, Peter Tiang {Original Message removed}

Fineprint works for any document type by appearing to the OS as a virtual printer. I use 2up double sided printing and booklet mode the most. You can queue up multiple documents, then print the whole lot as one booklet. http://www.fineprint.com/ Regards, Simon -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!

Some postscript printer drivers will do 2-up, 4-up, 9-up, 16-up. So, print to a file using that printer driver. Then, take the resulting .ps and create a new .pdf from it (distiller or ghostscript equivalent). Then print the new .pdf normally. A bit complicated, but the price is right if you use ghostscript.

Some of the printer setups allow you to do this - beond that I can't really help (i.e. print/setup printer/advanced/.... etc. That's how I do it here.

Linux drivers were on the CD (of course). I went into PrintTool and had the NEC 1400 added in a few seconds. I then saw this question and tried to print 4 PDF pages per one 8.5x11 page. Simple - in the filter configuration in printtool there is a radio button selection for 8,4,2, or 1 pages/page. I click on 4, loaded Acrobat 4.0 and printed a test. It worked!

Too much complicated!!! Fineprint is excelent!!! The price that isn't right. Why 39.90? 19.90 would be a well-suited price to it. Anyway, It will be registered - I've too much use for it, it saves me time, paper and space. --------------8<-------Corte aqui-------8<-------------- All the best!!!
