Hi,

I want to install XP via bootcamp and went to print out the setup guide, and so that I can personally save the world myself (of course...) I want to print so that 2 pages will print on one landscape page ie A5. In openoffice.org I do this all the time, using the "pages per sheet" function, but in Preview there doesn't appear to be this function. Importing the .pdf into openoffice.org just brings up a load of code. How can I do this? Is there another .pdf reader that can do this that I can download?

Cheers
Stef

Preview is very limited and just provides the minimum of options to read and print a PDF file.

You can give Adobe Reader for Mac a try if you like as it has more options. I'm not sure about its ability to print two pages in landscape style though.

Adobe - Adobe Reader : For Macintosh

I think you should certainly find Pages per Sheet in the Layout section of the Print... dialog. (select Layout instead of Copies & Pages)
