Can no longer print multiple pages to a single page PDF

I used to have a very important workflow where I'd generate 100 images, convert them to a single PDF, and then in the Preview app print that 100 page PDF to a new 25 page PDF in which each page had 4 of the prior pages. I'd accomplish this last step in Preview by setting the 'layout' tab to 4 pages per. Now I get an error popup window that says 'Print. Error while printing. Ok.' Might be related to Catalina install. Does anyone have a fix?

iMac Pro, macOS 10.15
