Print multiple pages without scaling

[Michael_Sandel_4470]

I just worked out how to print 4 x A3 pages onto a single A1 page without the original A3 pages being scaled down. I cropped the A3 pages by 10mm first and then printed to multiple pages. It seems that Acrobat only scales the pages down it it feels is has to. There must be some internal margin settings in the print to multiple pages function.

Once the A3 page is cropped by a sufficient amount, the A1 page with the multiple A3 images retains it's scale (important for architectural & engineering drawings). 5mm and 7mm cropping wasn't sufficient, but I found 10mm works for an A3.

Sincerely,

Michael Sandel

Hey Michael,

This is great that you have figured this out. We appreciate for taking out time and sharing your findings on public forums.

Any suggestions which would improve application's performance are most welcome. You may use this form to request new features or suggest modifications to existing features. Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Unfortunately both, Print multiple and Print booklet allow for very little user settings. There are designed as a quick and dirty solution and not as a full fledged imposition tool.

If you need that, you need to buy either Pitstop (PitStop Pro. Print-ready PDF files. Every time. ) or similar or you need to do "manual" imposition using Illustrator or Indesign.
