How to print A5 on A4 and Half Letter on Letter

Choose the finished page first

A5 is 148 × 210 mm. Half Letter is 5.5 × 8.5 in. Choose the actual finished dimensions rather than scaling a different page until it looks close.

Print on paper that fits

Choose A4 or US Letter as the paper you print on, then one page centred or two pages per sheet. The builder won’t offer an arrangement that would need shrinking. Download the PDF and print at Actual size.

Drawn to scale. Two A5 pages (148 × 210 mm) fill a landscape A4 sheet with 1 mm to spare, and two Half Letter pages (5.5 × 8.5 in) fill landscape US Letter exactly. Two A5 pages need 296 mm and Letter is only 279.4 mm long, so on Letter an A5 page prints one to a sheet, centred, and you trim the rest.
