About N-up Layout
Printing several PDF pages onto each sheet saves paper and makes documents easier to handle. Handouts, lecture slides, proof copies of a long draft and reference material for a meeting rarely need a full sheet per page.
An n-up layout places several pages on one sheet. Choose how many go on each sheet, two, four, six or more, and set the margins and gap between them. A preview shows the arrangement before you print, so you can check that the text is still readable at the reduced size.
Pages are placed as scaled vector content rather than being converted to images, so text stays crisp and selectable at the smaller size. Printing four to a sheet does not produce the blurry result you get from screenshotting pages and pasting them into a grid.
Two pages per sheet on A4 gives roughly A5 per page, which most people read comfortably. Four per sheet is fine for slides and diagrams but starts to strain for body text, so preview before committing to a long print run.

Frequently asked questions
Will the text still be readable?
Two per sheet almost always is. Four per sheet works for slides and diagrams but can be tight for body text, which is why there is a preview before you print.
Does this rasterise the pages?
No. Content is placed and scaled as vector data, so text stays selectable and sharp rather than becoming a picture of text.
Can I mix orientations?
The output sheets share one orientation. If your source mixes portrait and landscape, pages are scaled to fit their slot rather than being rotated unexpectedly.
Is this the same as printing multiple pages per sheet from my print dialog?
The result is similar, but this produces an actual PDF you can save, email or print anywhere, rather than a setting that lives in one printer dialog on one machine.
