Topic awaiting preservation: 1-page pdf to 4-page pdf. (Page 1 of 1)

ok, i got a very long pdf and to save paper when printing it, i want to make it available as a scaled down version.
you often see, four A4 pages on one.
how can i get that formatting?

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.

so, there is no other way than to install another printer?

Well you could try somthing like Fineprint

This is cheapish and has a trial verison, dont know how limited it is.

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.
