# pdfxup

> N-up PDF pages.
> N-upping means putting multiple pages onto one page by scaling and rotating them into a grid.
> More information: <https://ctan.org/pkg/pdfxup>.

- Create a 2-up PDF:

`pdfxup {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/output.pdf}} {{path/to/input.pdf}}`

- Create a PDF with 3 columns and 2 lines per page:

`pdfxup {{[-x|--columns]}} {{3}} {{[-y|--rows]}} {{2}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/output.pdf}} {{path/to/input.pdf}}`

- Create a PDF in booklet mode (2-up, and pages are sorted to form a book when folded):
