Can I print multiple pages of a PDF/PS file on one single page?

[Modified Sunday, Aug 27th 2006 by karel]

Portable Document Format (PDF) files must first be converted to postscript (ps). In Adobe Acrobat's reader (acroread), select "Print to File" and give it a name, for example: file1.ps. The same can be done in Xpdf. You need to convert the printed file into PostScript format in order to do so.

To create a PostScript file which contains two pages on one sheet, type:

psnup -2 postcript_file.ps output_file.ps
(or replace the -2 by -4 for four pages in one page)

Check the resulting file with gv before printing it.

Print your file with this command:

qpr -Pprinter_name output_file.ps

Or if you want to print duplex (use both sides of page to print)type:

qpr -d -Pprinter_name your_ps_file.ps
