    Never mind office / libre office / notepad or any other application simple way download Primopdf, which installs as a printer. create two copies of page one in the same file using your fave application , print to Primopdf , select printer properties , landscape, print two pages per page, output to pdf et voila works with any app. The print the pdf using acrobat reader/foxit

    I can do it in the printer settings; it varies by printer driver, but my Brother printer calls it "2 in 1", and my HP has a "Pages per sheet" setting in the "Finishing" tab of the print dialog.

    If you've got a duplex printer, you can also print in booklet form.

    Thanks Prowla.

    Of course you can print two pages side by side, but can you print two copies of a one page document side by side on the same side of a piece of A4 paper that way?

    No! I take it you want to print out A4 pages you can cut in half, for sticking through letterboxes, or handing out etc.
    It's been said before. Just make two copies of the page the same but called pages 1 & 2, and you can print both of those pages side by side.
  • In the print options select two pages per sheet, and in the pages box type the page numbers required in the order required separated by commas, for example enter 1,1,2,2. I would have thought that was obvious.
