Printing 2 A5's on a sheet of A4

Hello All



I have searched the forums but still can't master this.

So, I have one document which I want to first duplicate and then arrange the original as 2 A5's on an A4 page.

I drag another of the same document onto the sidebar, (think this could be the problem) ,highlight them both as I want both pages printed.

Select Paper size A4

Select Layout 2 pages per sheet

select paper handling, pages to print all pages

select scale to fit paper size

destination paper size A4

But only one document prints ie I get on A5 on an A4 page.


I think where I am falling down is that I cant seem to "duplicate a page".


Any pointers very gratefully received.


Thanks

You'll need to open the document in Preview, not duplicate it. This will work if your original document is an A5 document.


Go the Print menu, PDF and then "Open PDF in Preview"


Then in the Print menu in Preview select A4 Paper Size.


Then change the Copies at the bottom of the dialog to 2.


Adjust the Orientation to suit the orientation of the original document.


Ensure Scale to Fit is selected to "Fill Entire Paper".


That should work.
