I have lots of PDF files needs to be printed, but I want to join them together to print, so that I don't have to use too much paper. Somebody know how to make it? I searched the net and just found change the print size, but I don't think it could save paper. Thank you for your help.

as far as I understand, you want to *arrange* as many as possible pages
into one, so you can reduce number of sheet of paper needed to be printed

eg: 4 pdf pages into one on each side of sheet paper

you can use

*Multivalent* tools

as I explained here:

To join the files together, use, for instance, pdftk. You'll get one
resulting file, the rest is easy.

I don't understand how that will save paper, unless there are a lot of
empty trailing pages to each document.

The O.P. wrote “…I want to join them together to print…”. My assumption
was, therefore, that the files may be very short, leaving empty space
when arranged to print several pages on a sheet.
OK – I could express it better.

OK. I didn't understand that he wanted to print multiple pages per sheet.
