How to Save Paper When Printing PDFs

Print PDFs using less paper with N-Up layouts, double-sided printing, and smart page selection. Free tools included.

Between N-Up layouts and page selection, you can typically print a PDF using 60–80% less paper than a direct print.

Method 1: N-Up Layout

Use FixMyPDF N-Up to put 4 pages on one sheet. A 40-page PDF becomes 10 sheets.

Method 2: Remove Blank Pages First

Use FixMyPDF's remove blank pages tool to eliminate unnecessary blank pages before printing.

Method 3: Double-Sided Printing

Enable duplex (double-sided) in your printer settings. Combined with 4-up, a 40-page PDF uses just 5 physical sheets.

Method 4: Grayscale

Switch to grayscale before printing to save colour toner/ink. Use FixMyPDF grayscale tool.
