About the N-up PDF
N-up PDF places 2, 4, or 9 source pages on each landscape A4 sheet. Pages fill grid cells in reading order, with a small internal margin around each proportional fit.
Source pages are embedded as PDF content, so text and vectors remain sharper than screenshot-based handouts. Nothing is cropped, and unused cells on the final sheet remain empty.
The output is fixed to landscape A4; paper size, custom gaps, crop marks, and printer bleed are not configurable. Verify readability before printing a high-density 9-up layout.
