How to print multiple small pages on 1 sheet of paper without changing size

I have a document 85x110mm which I want to print *at exactly that size* 4 times on a sheet of A4 paper. I have duplicated the pages in the document (so there are 4 of them) and in print -> layout I can choose that they all go onto one sheet. BUT they get resized. In print -> paper handling there is an option 'destination paper size' (sounds hopeful...) where I can choose 'document paper size: letter' or 'scale to fit paper size: my custom 85x110 page'. The paper size isn't letter; it's 85x110mm; and my default paper size is A4. The first option seems to lay out the pages to letter, but resizes them anyway, and the second option lays them out to A4, but resizes them. Where's the missing function which lets me *keep everything at the correct size*?
Possible workaround: if I can lay out the 4 pages on one A4 page that would do - but I need to specify their exact layout in centimetres. I tried modifying a business card layout, but it seemed to want me to set the positions of every element in every card manually. I can't do that precisely enough.

Hello
I know that Pages is using its own algorithm to resize pages when it put several of them on a single sheet.
This is why I use this tip.
I draw a rectangle whose size is supposed to be the final one.
I give it a white background and a black border whose thickness is set to one point.
For the tests I just insert three page breaks so that the document is a four pages one.
I print it as is.
Doing that, I may measure the printed rectangle.
Of course, at first attempt it doesn't match the required size.
It's easy to compute the required adjustments.
When the correct factor is reached, it is easy to build the complete document so that it prints the correct size.
Doing that I never got odd results but maybe it's because I am a lucky guy.
Of course, disagreeing with one advice doesn't mean that I don't respect it.
I respect your opinion, _on other matters too_

Print multiple pdf pages to one sheet of paper

I want to print a 70 page pdf file but don't want 70 pages.
I want 4 of the pdf pages on one sheet of paper, and I would really like to double side.
This is what I'm working with (and not having any success in getting what I want)
Help?

Hi,
That can be done easily using the Booklet feature of the printer driver.
Open the PDF in Adobe Reader, then clcik on File > Print.
Click the Properties button.
Within the Layout tab check the radio option next to Booklet, you may keep the draw borders box checked or uncheck it as you prefer.

Is it possible to print multiple InDesign pages on one sheet?

Say I have a 10 page InDesign document. Each page is fairly small. When I go to print out those proofs, can I print all 10 pages on one sheet of paper? Or do I have to copy each layout separately onto a new document to group them? Just to save paper really.

I agree. That's not gonna happen even with Feature Request...everybody loves drop shadow...
are you kidding me?
That horrible drop shadow bar adds no value to thumbnail prints and causes designers to have to trim the prints to the thin line page edge that prints. With the bar under the thumbnail, it interferes with page design decisions, which is really the whole point of printing thumbnails--to save paper while quickly evaluating the design of the page.
It would also be helpful to have thumbnail print options galore, for printing miniature booklets with pagination controls, etc., for little samples we could give to our clients.
If the InDesign software engineers would add realistic drop shadow controls for thumbnails, that would be fine. But designers still want the ability to turn off the thumbnails.
KILL THE WORTHLESS DROP SHADOW BAR AND PLEASE GIVE US MORE THUMBNAIL PRINTING OPTIONS.

Is it possible to print multiple days on the same sheet of paper in iCal

Please help.

File > Print has an option to print by View (Day, Week, Month or List). Experiment with the List View to see if it meets your needs.

FW CS5: Copy Page from one document to another without changing layers

Hi,
how can I copy a Page from one document to another without changing the layers?
Drag-and-drop isn´t possible and by Copy-Paste all elements are placed in the same layer.
Greetings,
toho

Use File > Import.
Open the File, then navigate to the page you want to import
Be sure to select Insert after current page, or FW will just import the content into the current page itself.

How to print multiple footers for each page in RTF template xml report.

Hi,
How to print multiple footers for each page in RTF template xml report.
i am able to print ( two sets ) ...
up to last page ( one template ) and for last page ( another template).
i want to change the footer information based on the group value printed in the report ( it might be 5 to 6) In every report run.. can you please check and let me know do we have any feasibility to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
KAP.

You can remove all other logic, like last page only contents (start@last-page:body), etc and section breaks if any you have inserted manually.
Just have for-each@section logic.
It would be difficult for me to guess what you have done without looking at your RTF or describing here.

How to print multiple copies on one page ?

How to print multiple copies of one document on one page ?
in coreldraw I used to make the document -for example a business card 5x9 - and when sending to print it automatically placed the number of cards that would fit in my A4 sheet.
how do I make the same operation in Indesign.
thanks

Hi, Peter S.
>I can see that as a shortcut to printing a page of different cards for multiple people, but to do a simple n-up of a single card it seems overly complex to me. What am I missing?
* It's just an alternative to copy/paste and step/repeat.
* For a one-time only use, perhaps it's a little more complex than necessary. But for any future needs, only the content of the data file needs to be changed, either by editing, or by pointing to a new data file. If different cards for multiple people becomes necessary, it's ready to go.

How can I print multiple pictures on a single sheet?

Today 3/27/2012 I tried downloading HP software that says it has a new feature that allows printing multiple pictures on a single sheet of photopaper. The download started and halted at only one square and sat there flashing for hours, meaning it wasn't downloading on my Pavilion desktop computer. Since it's a new feature (apparently), no wonder no one as yet has asked this question and so I doubt if anyone has the answer. But, I'll wait to see.

You are probably going to get help by posting in the iPhoto forum. You can easily locate it by clicking on Apple Support Discussions on the top left of this page then navigating to the iPhoto forums.

How to print envelopes in pages, How to print envelopes in pages

How to print envelopes in pages, How to print envelopes in pages

I presume you are using the Pages application, is that correct?
So start off by launching Pages and choose one of the regular envelope styles. Traditional works well for me.
Next go to the File menu and select Page setup. From the menu that says Paper Size select Manage Custom Sizes. In the resulting dialog, there should be a button on the left labeled "+". Click it. In the Paper Size area, select Width 5 in and Height 7 in. Name the size (where it says "untitled" something descriptive like "5 x 7 envelope". Click the OK button. The Paper Size menu here should now say the description you gave it. Click OK again. Your work area should now be a 5 x 7 envelope.
Best of luck.
PS If you are using Word or some other program, the process is probably the same or very similar.
