Readability and paper saving by layout.
To print multiple PDF pages per sheet free: open PDFWix Multiple Pages per Sheet, add your PDF, choose 2 or 4 per sheet and A4 or Letter, and click Put pages on each sheet. Print the new PDF normally — every sheet already contains several pages.
PDFWix Multiple Pages per Sheet embeds each original page as a vector form XObject with pdf-lib and draws it scaled into a grid cell on a new A4 (595×842 pt) or Letter (612×792 pt) sheet, choosing landscape for 2- and 6-up and portrait for 4-, 8- and 9-up. Text stays vector and selectable because pages are not rasterised. Files are processed in the browser and never uploaded.
Most desktop print dialogs have a 'pages per sheet' option, but phones, tablets, many browser print previews and shared office printers do not — or they reset it every time. An n-up PDF bakes the layout into the file, so it prints identically everywhere, can be emailed as a handout, and can be stored as the reading version of a document. Choose the layout by content size. 2-up on landscape keeps slides and A4 text readable at roughly 70% size. 4-up works well for slides and large-type reports. 6- and 9-up are for thumbnails, proof sheets and revision cards; small text becomes hard to read. For extra savings, convert to black and white first with Grayscale PDF.
Paper saved at 4-up: Up to 75% · Layouts: 2 · 4 · 6 · 8 · 9 per sheet · Processing: 100% in your browser
