I’d like to have each page a 1/4 the size of a regular piece of paper, in a booklet style, printing on the front and back, and have 4 pages per page one side of piece of paper.

That way I can cut the page in half and minimize the amount of paper I use while making a quarter page size booklet I can keep in my pocket.

    Depends on your PDF viewer, but there is a print option to print 4 pages on one page. You will have to consider the print order to have front and back.

      That’s the issue I’m running into. Once you select 4 pages per sheet it seems to override the booklet mode.

      Adobe seems to try to print

      1 2

      3 4

      for example. The only option I can think of is to arrange the pages to work with this but it gets a bit difficult with nearly 100 pages.

        Lay the page order out in Excel (might be a nice puzzle in itself), concatenate into a single comma separated string, and feed that into the “what pages to print” print dialog field?
