How to print multiple publications to a single sheet PDF

Details:
Microsoft Office Publisher is a desktop publishing application that allows creating publications for print or web. Once your print publication is designed if you need to send it for review, physically printing or share it with your team, it's recommended that you convert it to a PDF. Document sharing is easier using PDF files, because the recipient does not need to have Publisher installed in order to open the PDF (being also multi-platform, same PDF can be opened both on Windows and Mac powered systems) and by converting it the original design of the publication remains unaltered. novaPDF is a PDF creator that once installed it offers an option to print your publication to a PDF file - simply choose novaPDF as a printer and once you click the Print button your publication will be converted to a PDF.

Convert publications created with Publisher to PDF files

novaPDF is installed as a virtual printer so you can create PDF files simply by printing to it instead of your normal printer. To convert your Microsoft Office Publisher file to a PDF:
  1. Open Microsoft Office Publisher and go to File->Open, browse for the publication you want converted to PDF and open it
  2. Go to File->Print and in the Printer section select novaPDF
  3. Before creating the PDF file you can adjust novaPDF's settings by using the Properties button (for instance adding document information, using auto-save options, embedding fonts)
  4. Click on OK and choose a location where you want the PDF file saved. After the PDF is created it will be automatically opened in the default PDF viewer (by default, but this can be configured too using novaPDF's Properties window).


How to print multiple publications to a single sheet PDF

Publisher has an option that allows printing a publication several times onto a single sheet (this option is available only when the publication is a business card, postcard or index card). To have the same publication printed several times on one PDF sheet:
  1. Open the publication that you want to convert to a PDF file
  2. Go to File->Print and select novaPDF from the Printers list
  3. Click on the Change Copies per Sheet button to open the Small Publication Print Options
  4. On the Small Publication Print Options select Print multiple copies per sheet and after that click Ok (additionally you could set up margin options for it))
  5. Click on Print and choose a location where to save the PDF file (auto-save can be configured too by accessing the Properties->Save tab of the novaPDF Printer)
