Print multiple pages on sheet

[Guest]

I am using Adobe Reader and would like to print two copies of the same document on the same sheet. It doesn't seem to allow me to do that no matter what settings I put in the print dialog box or the printer driver. I have told it "2 up" and the paper size is 18 x 12, the document itself is 8.5 x 11 so there should be plenty of room. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Whoever answered this is a genius.  I just spent two hours trying to do the same thing, print multiple invitations for my kid's birthday party on one sheet, and this worked beautifully!  Thank you deleted user!!!

Was googling this and found this thread, it still didn't work for me, but then a lovely person gave me this link to try something different and I prefer this option. I feel gives me more flexibility, hope it helps you too.... 🙂

This thread helped me, 13 years later.  You'd think they would have upgraded the Printer Options by now, but NOPE.

Based on other responses, I printed my document to a PDF and made 4 copies. This gave me a PDF with 4 pages with the same thing on each page.  Then I printed that PDF with "Multiple" selected and 2x2 for Pages per sheet, putting 4 to a single page.

I had the same problem and created a simple work-a-round.  The first ahah is to understand that Adobe PDF does not have a "step and repeat" function to place and print multiples of a single file on a single page.  You have to have the "ahah" that Adobe PDF can take a document that has multiple pages and print those images/pages on a single page.  Of course a little math is needed to be sure that all will fit.
For Example-
I have one PDF file - a 3.5 inch x 3.5 inch sticker. 
i open adobe PDF and select CREATE a PDF and choose the option SINGLE FILE

While in that dialog I click SINGLE FILE and choose my PDF file of my sticker.  
Then I hit CREATE and a screen appears with 1 page and my file.

Then I hit ORGANIZE PAGES and a new screen appears with a thumbnail image of my original one page file
Now for the trick!!!
I click on the thumbnail (my outline turns blue) , I then click copy or use a keyboard shortcut for copy and then SIMPLY USE THE KEYBOARD SHORT CUT FOR PASTE.  A new page is added with a duplicate of my sticker.  I create 6 pages using this technique as I have calculated that I can print 6 images on a letter size paper.

Then in the print dialog I select multiples and the correct layout.
