Need some PDF help

#1 Post by jronald » Thu Jan 17, 2013 5:13 pm

OK, I have a PDF that needs to be shrunk in half, turned 90 degrees, duplicated and put onto the other half of the page, and then finalized. In other words, 2 of the same thing on the single page. Cant find anything to do it for free. Anybody got any ideas, or a full program of Adobe?

Thanks

I really don't know, as I've never had the need to do such a thing. But, have you tried PDF-Shuffler? It looks like it can do everything you need, except for, maybe, shrinking the pages. :??:

If that solution doesn't work, post the pdf to googledocs for someone to give it a shot for you...perhaps even me.

Assuming you're on Windows: Download PDF 24 Creator. http://en.pdf24.org/creator.html
This is a free (gratis) piece of software that adds a virtual printer to your computer. Anything "printed" on that printer is exported as a PDF file.
Then, just "print" your input file. In the print dialog, choose to print 2 copies. In "printer properties", choose 2 pages per sheet. This should do the trick.

OK fiddled with it, cant get it to print 2 per page BUT
Ill print it, turn the page around and reprint it. It does print as half size.
Good Enough!

If you have GMail (free to sign up), you have GoogleDocs. I recommend it to store docs and be able to access them elsewhere.
