.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B psutils
|
|
[OPTION...] [INFILE [OUTFILE]]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B psbook
|
|
uses
|
|
.B pstops
|
|
to rearrange pages from a PDF or PostScript document into \[oq]signatures\[cq] for
|
|
printing books or booklets, creating a new file.
|
|
A \[oq]signature\[cq], often called a \[oq]section\[cq] in bookbinding, is a
|
|
series of sheets that are folded together to be stitched into the book's
|
|
binding. Each sheet has two pages per side; the number of pages in a
|
|
signature must therefore be a multiple of four.
|
|
Extra blank sides will be added if the file does not contain a multiple of
|
|
four pages.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The output should be printed 2-up (this can be achieved with \fBpsnup\fR(1))
|
|
and duplex, as for short-edge binding. Alternatively, the output of
|
|
.B psnup
|
|
can be passed through the following command:
|
|
.sp
|
|
pstops '2:0(0,0),1U(1w,1h)'
|
|
.sp
|
|
to rotate the verso page upside-down, and the result can be printed duplex
|
|
as for long-edge binding.
|
|
Rearrange pages in a PDF or PostScript document into signatures.
