How to get an A4 image to 2 x A5 on an A4 sheet

Hi,

I am beside myself here trying to do this, altho' it must be the most basic of functions.

I have created a flier on a full portrait A4 canvas and now want to transfer it to this..

2x50% copies (A5 size) of that flier on a landscape A4 canvas.

I will then save to pdf for printing 2 up.

What is the easiest way to do this please?

At the moment when I 50% reduce the A4 then drag it to another A4 landscape canvas, it come sin as a thumbnail. Not sure why!!??

Thanks

1. A5 is 50% by area of A4. Therefore you have to reduce to 70,71% linear.
2. The resolution of your initial A4 differs from the resolution of the A4 you draw it to. Both should be at print resolution.
