Morge more A5 pages to A3 page

[Greenstrike]

Hi, I hope to post in the right place: I'm making depliants and I have done
several single-pages in A4 format.
My depliant has A4 size, so I make a document (2 pages of A4 size) and I
print in one A4 sheet (two pages per sheet option on printer), so I obtain a
2 A5 pages on A4 sheet.

Now I have to make a depliant composed by 3 A5 pages (I need a 21x44,55 cm
sheet).
All my files are in A4 format: how can I join it to a 3xA5 document?
For me it looks very complicated, because every document has got different
columns, images, etc. etc.

The only way that I can think of doing this would be to use the Snagit
Printer to print the document with 2 pages per A4 sheet. Then with a 21 x
44.55 cm document open, use the Snagit Editor Send facility to send the
first two pages to that document and then the next two, cropping that second
two pages so that what was the fourth page of your document is not visible
so that what was the third page will appear on the same page of the 21 x
44.55 cm document as the first two pages of the original, then insert a page
break after that image and into the new second page, use the Snagit Send
facility to send another copy of the third and fouth pages, this time
cropping off the third page and then use the Snagit Send facility to send
the fifth and sixth pages, etc.

You can get a trial copy of Snagit from www.techsmith.com

You can do this by first saving your document as a standard A4 PDF. Then
open it in Adobe Reader (preferably the latest version 9.1.1). Then print
using the options:

Multiple pages per sheet (which opens the Custom box)
In Custom and select 3 x 1
and choose the page order wanted.

Note that this does require you to have a printer (driver) that accepts your
custom size paper.

One of the redeeming features of the Acrobat Reader that almost forgives it
massively excessive size are its great print options - far superior to
Word's limited abilities.

Hi Terry,

That's a much easier method.
