ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for printing multiple pages written in page description format on a single sheet. The invention prints the multiple pages onto the single sheet by dynamically fitting the pages into the usable surface area of the sheet. To achieve the best fit, the invention determines a maximum scale factor for the multiple pages printed onto the sheet. This maximum scale factor is approximated by calculating a sheet layout which occupies the greatest percentage of the usable surface area of the sheet. Additionally, the invention provides for printing multiple pages on successive sheets while allowing the user to specify that margins be located on opposite edges of alternate sheets.
