เครื่องมือนี้ทำอะไร

This rebuilds the document with several original pages placed on each new sheet. It is the same idea as the pages-per-sheet setting in a print dialog, except the result is a file you can check, send and reuse rather than a setting that only applies to one print job.

Use it to save paper on long documents, to make lecture handouts where slides sit several to a page, to produce a contact-sheet overview of a design, or to print a draft compactly for review.

วิธีทำงาน

1. Drop the PDF onto this page.
2. Choose how many original pages go on each sheet.
3. Pick the paper size and orientation, or leave both on automatic to follow the source.
4. Adjust the margin and the gap between cells if you are printing to the edge of the paper.
5. Press Lay out and download the result.

Pages are fitted, never filled. Each original page is scaled down until it sits inside its cell whole, and any leftover space is left as margin. Scaling to cover the cell instead would look tidier and would silently crop content off the edges, which is not a trade a tool should make for you.

Orientation defaults to automatic and follows the grid. Two-up and eight-up produce wide grids, so the sheet is turned landscape; four-up, nine-up and sixteen-up are square grids and stay in the source orientation. You can override this if your printer prefers otherwise.

The text gets smaller, and there is no way around that. Two pages per sheet is comfortable to read; four is fine for slides and diagrams; nine and sixteen are for overviews where you are looking for a page rather than reading it. Check a printed sample before committing a long document to paper.

The optional cell border helps when the source pages have white edges and the grid is otherwise hard to see. It is off by default because most documents do not need it.
