Question：I received four tickets (each one-page) in one 4-page PDF file. Basically, I'd like to combine this 4-page PDF file into a 1-page PDF file the so that I can spend less ink and papers when printing. I'm not sure how to do this. Can you help?
Answer: According to your question, there are two methods you can choose.
Method One—Print with Adobe Reader
Adobe Reader is a free application for viewing and printing PDF files. In Adobe Reader, you can print multiple PDF pages on a sheet of paper.
- Open the 4-page PDF in Adobe Reader, click File in the top menu bar and select “Print” to open the “Print” window.
- Select “Multiple pages per sheet” in the dropdown list of "Page Scaling” within the "Page Handling"panel.
- Select 4 in the dropdown list of “Pages per sheet”.
- Select your printer, specify other print options as appropriate and click the OK button.
