How to print A5 pages
Two A5 pages fit side by side on one A4 sheet. In the print dialog of Adobe Acrobat or your browser, choose Multiple pages per sheet → 2 (or Booklet for a folded booklet), then save as PDF. Upload that A4 PDF and you get two A5 pages on every sheet, which also halves the price. We currently print on A4 and A3 paper, so cut or fold the sheets to A5 size.
