 |
|
My question is simple: How can I make acroread-7.0.8 print multiple (eg. 4) pages on one sheet?
I'm sure it was possible, since I've got several documents printed that way from time, where I only had acroread installed for pdf reading, but now it seems I either completely lost this option, or I'm suddenly unable to find it anywhere.
Is it supposed to be in File->Print->Properties? Because I only have a page size option and commandline optrions for lpr here.
I thought evince would do the trick, but the situation is even worse there - it has the option, but when I select 4pgs->1, I get only the first page printed in original size! |

OK, adding "-o number-up=4" to the cli options is a possible solution.
Nevertheless I won't add [SOLVED] to the title since I (well actually my brother who has a real fear of the command line) still miss the GUI selection (which I'm sure I used several moths ago). (Not to mention the evince trouble. This time proprietary sw beats opensource in the field of communication with the most widespread linux printing layer which is a SHAME for evince)
[edit] fixed typo |

It's really simple, File -> Print -> Page Scaling (drop down menu) -> "multiple pages per sheet" 
I want to use this feature too, but I don't seem to get my printer working with acroread 
If you know any software which has the same functionality, please post it, would appreciate it!
greetz!

| How do you use those command line options? Are they for evince or acroread? I still have not got this working. |

the best thing to do is just lpr the .pdf file directly.Check cup's homepage for the cli options.It always works unlike acroread's print dialog
