Hi, today I was trying to print 2 copies of a 1 page PDF onto a single sheet of paper. However, instead it printed 2 separate pages for me with the page only occupying the top half of the page. Subsequently I tried to print multiple copies of the same page to a single PDF so that I could then use it to print the same page twice on a single sheet of paper, but no matter how many times I tried, the generated PDF only contained 1 page (i.e. it refused to print the same page twice). It is unexpected behaviour that I cannot print multiple copies of the same page in a PDF onto a single page as Acrobat on Windows allows me to do this. Also, if we print multiple copies of the same page to another PDF the new PDF should contain multiple copies of the page and not just 1 copy.
Thanks for your report. I'd personally regard this as two separate aspects: (In reply to siauderman from comment #0) > Hi, today I was trying to print 2 copies of a 1 page PDF onto a single sheet > of paper.

Since those are two separate copies, they should go on separate pages in my opininion. Consider e.g. the case where you want to print a handout with 3 pages several times, with two sheets on every page and in duplex. I would expect that each copy is on a separate sheet (so that you can give this to another person), and not that the first page of the second printout is on the same sheet as the third page of the first printout (which would be the equivalent of your scenario of having two copies of a one-page-document being printed on a single sheet). > Subsequently I tried to print > multiple copies of the same page to a single PDF so that I could then use it > to print the same page twice on a single sheet of paper, but no matter how > many times I tried, the generated PDF only contained 1 page (i.e. it refused > to print the same page twice). That's actually a bug. When I tried "Print to File (PDF)" and selected multiple copies in Kate, the outcome was the same for me, so it looks like this is not an Okular-specific problem, but rather one in the Qt print dialog which is used by KDE applications.
