Another printing question

I apologize if I asked this before, but it has been a tough week and my brain is totally zapped.

I have a doc which (originally) is A4 portrait. I want to print 4 instances at half size, 2 on each side of a landscape A4 paper. Now I know I could do this by telling it to print pages 1,1. But there is only one page in the PD file so it greyed out those options:

So

So as you can see, it is only giving me one instance and I want two on each side of the page (have auto-duplex printer)

 

How to?

Thank you

Correct answer Bernd Alheit

You can use a script:

var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.full;
pp.printRange=[[0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0]];
this.print(pp);

In Adobe Acrobat add one page and the option will be active.

Thank you for your attention!

I thought of doing this, but it seemed like a superfluous workaround, and I was looking for something more elegant. Adobe could have allowed this after you chose multiple.

The option is for documents with multiple pages.
