Print-to-pdf multiple pages per sheet

How can I print-to-pdf multiple pages per sheet? I have a pdf file. I know how to print multiple pages per sheet, but rather than printing I'd like to generate a new pdf file that displays multiple pages of the original file per every page of the new file.

Here's how I tried to go about it.

File > Print... > Multiple > Pages per sheet: 2 by 2 > Printer... > PDF > Save As PDF... > Save

This procedure ends with the following message: "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."

However, there is no multiple pages per sheet option on the File > Save As... dialog.

System details:

* Acrobat XI 11.0.11

* OS X Yosemite 10.10.4

Sorry, I assumed you had Reader since you posted in the Reader forum... (I'll move your thread to the Acrobat forums)

The Adobe PDF printer is not available (any more) on Mac computers, so you can't print to a PDF file.

It is possible to create an n-Up version of a PDF using a script, though.

Just incase anyone is having the same issue as I am, I tried just the simple save as PDF and was getting an error message, I set my printer to offline and now I am not getting the error message. Which maybe makes sense and relates to the whole virtual printer issue maybe.  Just a though.
