Print several PDF pages on one sheet

or drop one here
Choose a PDF first.

Put several PDF pages on each sheet, impose a folded booklet, or tile one page as a poster. The preview shows the first output side before the run. Source pages stay as PDF content, and the output is reopened to check every sheet and its selectable text.

How to make a PDF print layout

  1. Choose a PDF

    Choose a PDF or drop it onto the page. The file stays inside this browser tab.

  2. Choose the print job

    Use N-up for several source pages per sheet, Booklet for folded reading order, or Poster to spread one source page across several sheets.

  3. Check the sheet map

    The first output side shows its page positions. Booklet mode also lists the front and back imposition order before the file is written.

  4. Download the checked layout

    The output is reopened. Its sheet count, sheet geometry and original selectable text must pass before the download appears.

Booklet output is arranged as front and back sheet sides. Print duplex and flip on the short edge unless your printer uses different wording. Fold the sheets after printing. Poster output includes the overlap you choose, so adjacent sheets can be trimmed and aligned.

Interactive annotations are separate from page content. Links, comments and field widgets do not carry into imposed sheets. Flatten the PDF first when a field value or visible comment must become permanent.

Work on the pages first

An imposition is only as good as the page order it receives, so settle the order before you tile. Add pages to a PDF covers inserting a cover or a blank so a booklet starts on the correct side, and Split a PDF into separate files covers cutting a long document into parts you can print one at a time.

Cut marks and file names

In N-up mode, Add cut marks draws short grey lines, 12 points long, along the bottom and left sheet edges where each row and column of pages starts and ends. They are off by default, and booklet and poster sheets never get them. The download is named after your file with -n-up.pdf, -booklet.pdf or -poster.pdf at the end.

Questions about N-up and booklet PDFs

Does the output keep selectable text?
Yes. Source pages are embedded as PDF content. They are not rendered into page images. The result is reopened and its source text must still be present.
What N-up layouts are available?
Choose 2, 4, 6, 8, 9 or 16 source pages per sheet, with across-then-down or down-then-across order.
How does booklet order work?
Pages are imposed as front and back pairs for folding. Each signature is padded to a multiple of four pages, and the blank-page count is shown before and after the run.
Can one PDF page be printed as a large poster?
Yes. Choose the source page, scale and sheet overlap. The tool clips the PDF page across the required sheets without taking a screenshot.
Do form fields, links and comments carry into the new sheets?
No. Their page appearance may be visible in the source content, but interactive annotation objects do not travel through page embedding. The tool detects them and asks for confirmation. Flatten the PDF first when those appearances matter.
Does N-up conversion upload my PDF?
No. Layout, writing and verification run in this browser tab. Analytics receives only aggregate counts, timings and the chosen mode.
Which paper sizes and margins can I choose?
US Letter, A4, A3 and US Legal, in portrait or landscape. The margin around each sheet defaults to 8 mm and runs from 0 to 40 mm. The gutter between pages defaults to 4 mm and runs from 0 to 30 mm. Booklet sheets are always landscape, because two pages sit side by side.
How large can a poster be?
Set the scale from 25% to 800% of the source page. The default is 200%. Sheet overlap defaults to 5 mm and accepts up to 40 mm. If the settings would need more than 400 sheets, the tool stops and asks you to lower the scale or choose a larger sheet.
