An N-Up PDF places multiple source pages onto a single output sheet. It is a practical way to print more pages on fewer sheets, review documents more compactly, and create handouts with a smaller page count.
This tool renders each source page into a grid layout and then builds a new PDF from those page images.
N-Up layouts are useful when you want a shorter, more compact PDF for printing or review. They help fit more content into fewer pages without changing the source file.
Creating an N-Up PDF can help you:
Each layout arranges source pages into a grid on the new PDF page. The preview shows how the selected pages will appear before you generate the file.
You can choose the page order, output orientation, margin, and spacing to match the way you want the document to print or display.
N-Up printing places multiple PDF pages onto a single sheet of paper. Common layouts include 2-up PDF, 4-up PDF, 6-up PDF, 9-up PDF, and 16-up PDF. This can reduce paper usage, create presentation handouts, and make large documents easier to review.
Pages per sheet controls how many source pages appear on each output page. Orientation changes the final page shape, while page order determines how the source pages flow through the grid. Margin and spacing let you control the white space around and between the imported pages.
