Printing Multiple Pages per Sheet
You'll commonly want to be able to print two or more pages of your document on each piece of paper. Acrobat's Print dialog box lets you do this easily.
To print multiple pages on each printed page
Select File > Print.
The Print dialog box opens.
In the Page Scaling pop-up menu, choose "Multiple pages per sheet".
Acrobat displays additional controls beneath the Page Scaling pop-up menu (Figure 3.20). In addition, the Print dialog box's Preview reflects the multiple pages (Figure 3.21).
Figure 3.20 When you choose "Multiple pages per sheet" from the Page Scaling menu, Acrobat displays additional controls.
Figure 3.21 The Preview picture in the Print dialog box reflects the number of pages you're printing on each sheet of paper.
In the "Pages per sheet" pop-up menu, choose the number of pages you want on each sheet of paper.
As always, the Preview picture shows the change.
Click OK.
Acrobat prints your document with the specified number of pages on each sheet of paper.

TIPS
- If you choose Custom from the "Pages per sheet" pop-up menu, you can specify how many pages you want across and down each sheet (Figure 3.22).

- I often make a reference page with thumbnails of all of my document's pages by printing with 16 pages per sheet. The text is unreadable, but it provides me with a usable overview of my document's layout.
