In the last PnPG tutorial, I showed you how to collect printable miniatures from several PDFs and format them into a one-page PDF for printing. Our sample project was to create a sheet of fourteen red-shirt crewpersons from David Okum’s Where No Man Has Gone Before line. But at the end of the last tutorial, we still had two
