Print pdf files in handout form?

Hey folks,

Not sure if this goes here but feel free to move it!

I've got a bunch of pdf files (lecture notes) that I want to print out, but they'll use too much ink and pages (46 pages on one of them), so I was gonna print them out in handout form, with 6-8 pages on each sheet of paper.

I know you can do it in Powerpoint, but alas, there's no such option in the free Adobe Reader, and pdf files won't open in PPT.

Any ideas? Cheers

depending on your printer, there should be an option to do this in your printer settings somewhere

Adobe reader does it too. In the print options dialog, change page scaling to "Multiple pages per sheet". Then select how many pages you want on each sheet. Easy...
