Common Questions About N-Up PDFs

What does 'N-Up' mean?

'N-Up' refers to printing 'N' number of pages from your original document onto a single sheet of paper. For example, 2-Up prints two original pages on one sheet, 4-Up prints four, and so on. It's a way to condense documents.

Will the quality of my PDF pages be reduced?

The N-Up tool aims to preserve the original quality of your PDF pages. However, since pages are scaled down to fit multiple on one sheet, fine details might appear smaller. The underlying resolution of images and text clarity is maintained as much as possible.

Can I choose the order in which pages appear on the sheet?

Yes, you can select the 'Page Order on Sheet' option. 'Horizontal' fills pages from left to right, then moves to the next row. 'Vertical' fills pages from top to bottom, then moves to the next column.
