    N-Up pages

    Attachment: Present (inaccessible)

    Hi helpdesk,

    I've got a question. From a word document having an A4 size portrait, I need to create a PDF, having papersize A3, landscape, containing 2 pages per sheet. As I try to print it from Adobe reader, and make the papersize A3 and the output size A4, saying that the page scaling is ' multiple pages per sheet' and '2 pages per sheet', the A4 documents are correctly rendered on the output preview. That means the 2 A4 pages are page-filled in the new landscape A3.

    Now, I try to reach this with the Pdf.Kit.PdfFileEditor with the following code:

    // set page size PageSize size = PageSize.A3;

    size.IsLandscape = true;

    PdfFileEditor editor = new PdfFileEditor();

    // file input contains A4 pages

    editor.MakeNUp(file_input, file_output, 2, 1, size);

    My assumption was this should result in two A4 pages printed on 1 A3 page landscape. The results are not really good. The A4 documents doesn't keep their size, they reside somewhere in the middle of the page, it seems that they are not resized, as I assumed. (see attachment 1)

    Is their any way to create the desired results?

    By the way, I've tried to work around it, created a word document with two columns, and with SaveToPDF they aren't rendered correctly... (see attachment 2)

    Of course. I've uploaded the complete test project (.NET 1.1, I need that for my app). The word document is created in Word 2007, and then saved as a 'word 97 to 2003' document (.doc). From that point on the test application should do the rest of the job.

    I think you only have to set the references to the right dll's (Aspose.Word, Aspose.Pdf and Aspose.Pdf.Kit).

    Of course I've deleted the 'lic' file from the project, you have to add that one as well.

    Re: N-Up pages

    Hi Shahzad,

    I am in need of the functionality very quickly. Is it possible to fix it with a hotfix, or do I have to wait till the next release of the product?

    Re: N-Up pages

    Hi Shahzad,

    I'm looking forward to it. Thanx for your quick responses so far, that really pleases me. Not all companies answer as quick as yours, and that's still an understatement...

    Hi,

    Our development team is working hard to get this issue resolved but unfortunately we have come across some technical difficulties and due to which we haven’t been able to provide the hotfix on said time. After discussing it with development, we have come to the conclusion that we would be able to share the hotfix early next week.

    Your patience and understanding is highly appreciated. In case of any related concerns, please feel free to share.
