How to print several pages only text without spaces among
1 I open pdf file - it has empty borders of space without text

2 I want to print 9 pages to save paper & eyes

3 In Okular i choose print - 9 pages. And I have no option for adjusting text to text (to print without spaces among 9 pages).

What program can you recommend to me for this economy?

You could try using a pdf2txt (PDF to text) converter pipe it though a grep -v "^$" to remove empty lines and then use pr(1) to format text into 3 columns and then print?

Anybody found a pdf2txt utility or do you convert to postscript first using pdf2ps and then to text using ps2txt?

This will only work if the PDF really contains text rather than being an image of text.
