Here's yet another way.
If your system uses CUPS, print from pdf viewer and pick "Print to
File (PDF)" as the printer and choose 4 as number of pages per sheet
in the properties.
Which PDF viewer do you have in mind?
I just did a little survey. My system (FC3) offers to open PDF files
with any of 7 different programs. Below is a table of their different
properties with respect to n-up printing.
Program How to get to N-up printing
GGV No
xpdf No
acroread7 No
acroread5 No
KPDF ^P -> Properties -> Pages per Sheet
KGhostview ^P -> Properties -> Pages per Sheet
PDFviewer ^P -> Paper -> Layout
So you can't just invoke "the pdf viewer" and expect to get the
desired results. YMMV
I still prefer one of the Imposition programs for more versatile
options -- you get to choose the margins, and can even re-order the
pages so they come out right to be folded into a booklet. But it is
nice to have the simple one available behind a bunch of click buttons.
