About N-up PDF

N-up PDF printing places multiple PDF pages onto a single physical sheet by scaling and tiling them into a grid layout. 2-up places 2 pages side by side, 4-up places 4 in a 2×2 grid, 6-up places 6 in a 2×3 grid, and 9-up places 9 in a 3×3 grid. This is the standard technique for printing presentation handouts, creating preview sheets to review a document's page flow at a glance, saving paper on draft printouts, and producing lecture handouts where audiences receive multiple slides per printed page.

The output sheet is always A4 — 2-up, 4-up, and 6-up land in landscape orientation, while 9-up uses portrait, matched to whichever grid shape fits that many tiles most sensibly. Source pages are scaled down proportionally to fit their grid cell with a small margin, regardless of the original PDF's page size, so mismatched input page sizes don't cause distortion.
