FAQ

Does printing 4 pages per sheet reduce quality?

The text becomes smaller but the resolution stays the same. Quality depends on the original PDF, not the layout.

Can I print 4 per sheet double-sided?

Yes. Enable duplex (double-sided) printing alongside the 4-up layout to fit 8 original pages on one physical sheet of paper.

What is the best page order for 4-up printing?

Horizontal order (left to right, top to bottom) is the most natural reading order for lecture notes.
