It does work, however. Print -> Save as PDF will produce a multi-page PDF if the document you're "printing" has multiple pages. It *should* work from any app that lets you create multi-page documents. If you're trying to get two or more "pages" of sheet music onto each "page" of a PDF file, use the Print dialog's Layout options to set the number of pages per sheet before you select Save as PDF.

AppleWorks is the only one I have--or at least know well enough to figure out--but only works for the setting I use for letters, etc., so I have to paste in a .jpeg, switch back to where I can put in a page ending, go back to drawing so I can paste in the next .jpeg of a page of music, repeat, etc. > > If you're trying to get two or more "pages" of sheet music onto each "page" > of a > PDF file, use the Print dialog's Layout options to set the number of pages > per > sheet before you select Save as PDF.
