    Adobe Reader has the best printing options for me (e.g. printing multiple pages in one sheet - ideal for college) but yet seems heavy and the scrolling is not smooth.

    Preview has very smooth scrolling but the printing options seem much more limited.

    What PDF Viewers do people typically use?

    I use Preview. Decent enough annotation support and it would be rare for me to print anything.

    I did think Preview supported multiple pages per sheet though.

    Thanks!

    I can't seem to find anywhere to print multiple slides per page. The closest I can find is to have multiple copies of the slide on the same page, e.g.

    Am I missing something obvious?

    See the combo that says "Preview"? There should be an option in that list called "Layout". Select it and that changes the stuff below the line to let you pick the number of items per page and their flow direction.

    It's a poorly thought out UI, that should really be a tab control.

    That's exactly what I was looking for!

    Thanks, Colonel Panic
