Business Cards

Post by alig31 »

Hi all,

I have my business card on a PDF but I am wanting to multi them up on an A3 sheet to print off 21 (3 rows x 7 columns). Any one give me any advice how to do this please. :?:

Thanks in advance

Hello AliG,

Simply open your PDF file in our Viewer, and then initiate the printing process (File -> Print or Ctrl-P key combination) and in the printing dialogue that will open in the Scaling type select "Multiple pages per sheet" - then set up the necessary extra options as number of rows/columns and rotation and you should be set up in seconds to print multiple of your cards on the same sheet of paper.

Best,
Stefan

Hi AliG,

Without duplicating the page 21 times inside the PDF - you can just modify the "Pages:" field as per the attached image - and this will print 21 copies of it on your sheet.

Best,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

that is better, but still not quite right. It shows the page a s A4 and each card is 85mm x 55mm so they must have been shrunk to fit on the page. See attached image.

How do you change the page size, but keeping the multi-up and the business card at 100%

Thanks in advance

Allan

Hi Allan,

Click on the "Properties" button next to your printer's name - and change the paper to be used from there.

As a side note is your pdf page actually with a card's dimension s(9 x 5 cm) or larger? as looking at it I think I see cut markings in there - so you might want to "crop" your pdf page first (Document -> Crop pages) before printing it.

Best,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

thats sorted it. Many thanks.

Tes you are right about the cutting marks. i have reduced it to 3 x 5 and they fit an A3.

Thanks for all your help. This can now be marked as solved

Kind regards
Allan
