Printing a "normal" PDF in booklet, facing page format

[prr]

I have a 300-plus page PDF that I'd like to print in booklet format--that is, with two pages on each 8x11 page that gets printed. I only want one-sided printing. I am able to view the pdf with two pages at once, but my printer only seems to be able to print one page at a time (and not the two pages from the PDF, at once). What do I need to do?

I've just d/l the help file, and it seems that this is called "page scaling," and only available in the pro version. Can someone verify this for me?

Hello Prr,

When you have the document open, start the printing Process (e.g. Press Ctrl + P)
In the printing window, there are several areas, one of them is named "Page Scaling". In it there is a drop down menu in which you can select "Multiple Pages Per Sheet" which should do exactly what you require.

This is not a "pro" feature, and is available to anyone.

Best,
Stefan

Thanks. I was able to select that feature--multiple pages per sheet, then choose the "2 (2/1)" option. What threw me, was that because I wasn't printing the entire document, I kept telling it to print the current page--which of course gave me only one book page, even though it was set to show 2 pages. I realized I had to tell it to print pages 17-18, which then gave me those two pages on one printed page, which is what I want. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
