: How to make a contact sheet from a multi page PDF I am trying to make a contact sheet from a multi page PDF. The output doesn't have to be a contact sheet per se. I am only looking for

I am trying to make a contact sheet from a multi page PDF. The output doesn't have to be a contact sheet per se. I am only looking for an automated way to place all of the pages from a PDF into a single document like a contact sheet.

My only thought would be to export all of the pages into their own document.

What I have tried

I have tried Photoshop Automate Contact Sheet
I have also tried Adobe Bridge Output Workspace

What happens when I do one of the above

It makes the contact sheet but is only placing the first page from the multi page PDF.

Question

How can I place multiple pages from 1 PDF file into a 1 page document like a contact sheet?

: You can use a levels adjustment layer. I did this in Photoshop but the same technique can be used in other programs. On the left I applied a 50% opacity white layer to show the effect.

Imagemagick's montage command automatically handles pdf pages as separate images and outputs a grid. The following command outputs a grid of images that are:

On a black background
Opened at 600 pixels on their largest dimension (twice the target size)
Auto-resized to 300 pixels on their largest
dimension (target size for each tile)
With a 3 pixel padding.

montage
-background '#000000'
-define pdf:fit-page=600x00
-resize 300x300
-geometry +3+3

I have kind of lost track on whether Adobe continues to bundle a PDF printer driver, but if you have a PDF printer driver, you can simply use Acrobat to print multiple pages per sheet.

In the print dialog, you will see this option in the drop-down under page scaling. Once selected, you will have options to configure the rows, columns, and order pages vertical/horizontal.

You can then print to the PDF printer wrapper to create a new PDF file or send it to an actual printer.
