Questions you may have
Does this change my printer settings?
No. It creates a new PDF whose sheets already contain multiple page areas. Avoid applying another multiple-pages-per-sheet setting at print time unless you intend to shrink it again.
Which layout is easiest to read?
That depends on the source. Two or four pages per sheet is a more readable starting point for small text than six or nine.
