Why use N-up PDF?
Printing handouts and reducing paper often means fitting multiple pages on each physical sheet. N-up imposition arranges pages in grids such as 2-up and 4-up for classroom packets, draft reviews, and eco-friendly printing. PDFBaba exposes common layouts plus advanced strings for pdfcpu users. The tool is free without signup, and files are deleted after a short window. For booklet folding layouts, use Booklet PDF instead of generic n-up.
Supported files & limits
One PDF; choose pages per sheet (e.g. 2-up, 4-up). The default upload limit is 100MB per file; administrators can raise or lower this via server configuration. Ideal for handouts and slide decks.
