About Multiple Pages per Sheet
Several pages are scaled down and arranged in a grid on each sheet of a new PDF, in reading order. It is the classic way to print lecture slides as handouts or proof a long document on fewer sheets.
Because the result is a normal PDF, it prints the same from any printer without hunting for the right print setting.
