Printing Multiple Pages Per Sheet in Mac OS X Lion

I won't go into the gory details of the problem, but if you're here, you know what I'm talking about. Maybe you want to create a booklet, or just save paper; but you want to print two pages of a document on one regular sheet, and when you tried, you found a huge white border around your printed text, and the text itself reduced to a microscopic, barely readable size.

Rejoice, for a workaround is at hand!

1. First, open a .pdf version of your document in Preview (typically: File > Print > PDF > Open PDF in Preview).
2. In the document that appears, click File > Print.
3. In the middle of the panel that opens up, there is (confusingly) a bar in the middle that says "Preview." Click on it and select "Layout." Set "Pages per sheet" to 2.
4. Now click on "Layout" again and SET IT BACK to "Preview."
5. Click on "Scale" and enter percentages until the printed part of your page is as close to the page margins as you want it to be. (You can also try clicking "Scale to Fit" and then "Fill Entire Paper," but I usually get text cut off when I do this.)
6. Click on "Print" in the lower right hand of the panel. Experience bliss.

NOTE. This is a workaround, so the finished product isn't perfect in all cases. It helps to adjust the margins in the original document to keep text from getting cut off when you scale the text. C'mon Apple, this problem's been around for over two years. You used to be so cool ... was it really all just Steve Jobs' doing?
