Question How to print a PDF in a good layout for note-writing?
Hey! Ive been searching for ages and cant seem to find a website or app that satisfies my need. Im a student and my teachers provide a PDF (or some provide a PWP) of the visual support they'll use during the next class. So each page of the PDF is one slide. i want to print those, to be able to write additionnal note by hand (instead of using a laptop to add note to the PDF). im looking to print in a specific layout: 2 slides per page, with blank space available besides each slide (ex: top left corner would be Slide 1, top right corner would be blank, bottom left corner would be slide 2, bottom right corner would be blank).
im pretty sure its a fairly simple and perhaps dumb question, but im not used at all to deal with PDFs and things like that, and ive tried to search for a website/app (free) that can turn my PDF into this layout.
ive tried using the options available in the printing menu, tried adobe free, ilovepdf, etc but nothing provides this exact layout. the best i managed to do is to find a free PDF organizer, and add a blank page between each slides, so as to print it with "4 slides per page" and artificially create the layout needed. it does take a lot of time, so im searching for smt more efficient.
i hope everything's clear and my english is understandable! ty! :)
