I have created a business card and saved it in PDF. How do I print multiple business cards on one page?

The way I have done this in the past is to duplicate the business card page in the PDF until you have 10 identical pages.  You will need to have Acrobat Pro, NOT Reader to do this. I hold the control key (cmd on Mac) while dragging the page in the pages panel.  Releasing the mouse button (with the control key still pressed) creates a duplicate page.  Once I have ten pages, I call up the Print dialog, select Multiple, and set the custom settings as shown below.

I hope this is helpful.

My best,

Dave

The “print multiple” is a great option, but I prefer composing manually. It, however depends on which tool you used.

If it was Word (to name only the most common), it has a Label printing option.

If you used Indesign, you’re a winner. You can place your Indesign file or your PDF like a graphics ...

In Illustrator, it’s the same. Place your graphic on a new document and duplicate as much as needed.

A simpler way is with Avery templates. I was a bit skeptical, but I had bought their perforated business cards, so after trying a few things i went to their web site.  They have a template, exactly what InDesign should be providing, to lay out the cards on one page.  It was easy enough to print two sided from there.  You can even get them printed professionally from Avery which I'm probably going to do on heavier card when I'm settled on my design.

Dave__M ‘s method does not give you control about placement.

If you use Avery’s templates or any other ones in Indesign, you are doing what I suggested Re: I have created a business card and saved it in PDF. How do I print multiple business cards on on... .

When doing professional print, look at the prices. There are companies specialized in this type of printing and they provide good prices and quality. The most expensive piece of your bc is currently design, at least when using a bc for a one man buisness.

This seems to not work for me. I thought it was printer (HP Envy 5540 on Windows 10) but I tried printing to PDF and still prints one business card per page.

Error on my part. The tip above does work. It was (my) user error. I had to select all pages then it worked like a charm.

I have my business card on word and I would like to print on my Avery templatae using Adobe as word can not print on Avery templates any longer.
