Note that "refrying" PDF to create a new PDF file by printing to Adobe PDF is absolutely not recommended by Adobe as the PostScript output by Acrobat (and other Adobe applications) is optimized for printing, not for production of PDF. Furthermore, you lose any live transparency, color management, tagging, etc. that might be in the original PDF file.

Yes, I know that the OP didn't mention any specific needs. And I am not trying to force the OP to license unnecessary software. My comments were for general educational purposes. I often do either 4-up or 6-up printing of presentations (I use InDesign, not PowerPoint) and indeed have found that I do need the level of control of page placement and page numbering capabilities not available via Acrobat's n-up printing facility.
