Instead of printing one PDF page per sheet, Adobe Reader DC allows you to print multiple PDF pages on one sheet. This allows you to save paper and view article spreads on one sheet. The downside is the images and text will be much smaller and harder to read. If you want to print multiple copies of the same page per sheet, you will need to duplicate the page using the Adobe web tool. This wikiHow teaches you how to print multiple pages per sheet in Adobe Reader DC.^[1]

If you are using larger sized paper, click Page setup in the lower-left corner. Then use the drop-down menu next to "Size" to select the type of paper you are using. Click Ok when you are finished.

Print the same page multiple times (optional). If you want the same page to be printed multiple times per page, one easy way to do it is to click the "Pages" radio option below "Pages to print". Then use the box next to this option to manually type the order you want the pages to print, repeating each page number each time you want it to print (i.g. 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,...). Separate each page with a comma.
- If you are printing on both sides of the paper with a single-sided printer, you'll want to print only the odd number pages first. Then re-insert the printed pages upside down back into the printer and print the even number pages.
Click the checkbox next to "Print page border" (optional). If you would like, you can click the checkbox next to "Print page border". This prints a solid black line around each page and clearly marks them.

- If you don't like how the pages are rotating when you switch from Portrait or Landscape, uncheck the checkbox next to "Auto-rotate pages within each sheet".
Click the checkbox next to "Print on both sides of paper" (optional). If you want to print on both sides of the paper, make sure the checkbox next to "Print on both sides of paper" is checked.
