You are printing multi pages to a pdf file so you can then print those multi pages on one sheet?

Why not just hit the print link then when the window pops up for your printer you click properties > layout > then select "2" on the "pages per sheet" option.

Saves heaps of hassles.

I use Foxit .. gave up on Acrobat Reader yonks ago .. bloatware

This will let your printer do whatever it wants ... even 4 pages a sheet if you want.

Thanks Yerg!

You were right... I could print to multiple pages directly. To quote that wise sage Homer Simpson... "D'oh!"

Even my printer driver will do it... I didn't realize it, because they call it "Page Layout Printing" (with pages laid out in a row) and "Poster Printing" (with pages laid out in rows and columns) - and I didn't know what those meant!

Oh, and thanks for the link to Foxit too... I downloaded it and tried it out, and it seems pretty cool.

Cheers,

P.S. In case anyone is wondering, the printer/scanner/photocopier I got is a Canon Pixma MP210... It seems to work pretty well!
