Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this called 'N-up'?

Print-industry terminology: '2-up' = 2 pages per sheet, '4-up' = 4 per sheet, etc. Saves paper and ink for review prints.

Are page numbers preserved?

Original page numbers (rendered on the page) shrink with the page. Add new page numbers afterwards if you need them readable.

What aspect ratio works best?

2-up and 8-up work well for landscape, 4-up and 9-up for portrait. Mismatches add whitespace around each sub-page.
