Example – Duplicate PDF document on print sheet
A DIN A4 PDF document is arranged duplicated on an A3 printed sheet in order to save printing costs if necessary.
Although this process visually duplicates the PDF file, the optimization does not make the original file twice as large. Current RIPs also do not charge pages twice.
