Why not use the command line method. With whatever tool you like to use,
convert the .pdf file to a .ps file (printing the .pdf to a file from
Acroread will do). Then at the command line use the following commands.
To convert your .ps so there are 4 logical pages to 1 physical page use:
psnup -4 infile.ps outfile.ps
depending upon your page sizes you may need to add input/output page size and
orientation parameters. Check the man page (man psnup) for these, as there
are many possible combinations.
Then you can either view the output file (to ensure it is correct) and print
from there or just print the file from the command line as follows:
lpr outfile.ps
