Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about file privacy, processing modes, formats, and device support.

N-Up is a document printing technique where 'N' consecutive logical pages are scaled down and composited onto a single physical sheet of paper in a neat grid. It allows you to fit 2, 4, or 8 pages per sheet to conserve paper and make convenient reading materials.
2-up printing cuts paper usage by 50%, 4-up cuts paper by 75%, and 8-up cuts paper usage by 87.5%. When paired with Elixuvo's PDF to Grayscale tool, it can also drastically lower expensive office color toner click rates.
Yes. Elixuvo does not rasterize the pages into blurry images. Vector text, curves, and embedded fonts remain vector-sharp at any zoom level, ensuring fine typography remains legible even when scaled down.
Yes. The engine inspects the aspect ratio of the incoming document and automatically chooses sheet orientation (portrait vs. landscape) so that slides fill the maximum printable space without wasteful white gaps.
No. All page imposition and layout calculations run entirely in memory on the Elixuvo API. Files are streamed directly to your browser and immediately purged from memory upon completion.
