Arranging 4 pages into one to save ink, space and paper

The plan is to convert a bunch(~100) of OpenOffice odp documents to PDF. That's not the big deal! However I need to reduce the number of PDF pages e.g. moving 4 sheets to one before exporting them to PDF. Is there a way like a batch program that does that for me?

what you are looking for to do is called imposition and it needs to be performed on pdf resulting files

assuming any of your exported pdf pages is A4 size (29.7x21cm), with

Multivalent

you can place 4 pages, (reducing their size to an A6 page: 14.8x10cm) into an A4

java -cp path....to/Multivalent.jar tool.pdf.Impose -dim 2x2 -paper  A4 file.pdf

Along with Multivalent, as recommended by Dingo, there's also jPdf Tweak which has a decent (but not great) GUI. You would want to use the "Shuffle/N-up" feature to get what you are trying to do.
