I don't think that is possable with acrobat alone. You can view pages 4 at a time buy using the small 4 page Icon at the bottom of reader.

Most hp print driver have a booklet mode that will turn file you print into a 4 pages on a sheet. Not much help if you don't have an hp but I be most print driver have similar functions.

Well I did just try a hack for kicks.

I installed a QMS Colorscript laser 1000 driver, It outputs postscript.

I you load your doc into acrobat and print to the QMS as a file, it create a postscript file, just go to general--> print prefs you can select up to 16 pages per page. The run this output back through distiller.

If you can't find a way, and dont have distiller, I would be glad to run it through my system.

Well you could try somthing like Fineprint

This is cheapish and has a trial verison, dont know how limited it is.
http://www.fineprint.com/

This site has some possiablities as well, BBPrint is only 10 bucks, and registration is through Kagi which I have bough through before with out problems. I dont know if the non-registered vesion works fully or not. But worth a try.
