PostScript Utilities Web site: https://github.com/rrthomas/psutils Maintainer: Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org> PSUtils is a suite of utilities for manipulating PostScript documents produced according to the Document Structuring Conventions. You can select and rearrange pages, including arrangement into signatures for booklet printing, and page merging for n-up printing. PSUtils is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3, or, at your option, any later version; see the file COPYING. If you simply want to use PSUtils, you will find it in most GNU/Linux distributions; it is available in brew for macOS and Cygwin for Windows. PSUtils should work in any POSIX environment (support on non-POSIX systems may be provided by gnulib). It is also recommended to install paper, which allows a sensible default paper size to be discovered, and configured by the user: paper: https://github.com/rrthomas/paper PSUtils intentionally does not check its input is DSC-conformant, as some programs produce non-conforming output that can be successfully processed anyway. If PSUtils does not work for you, check whether your software needs to be configured to produce DSC-conformant PostScript. The old-scripts directory contains some scripts that fix the output of certain obsolete programs. PROGRAMS psbook rearrange pages into signatures psselect select pages and page ranges pstops perform general page rearrangement and selection psnup put multiple pages on to one page psresize alter document paper size epsffit fit an EPSF file to a given bounding box extractres filter to extract resources from PostScript files includeres filter to include resources into PostScript files psjoin concatenate multiple PostScript files psselect in modeled on Chris Torek's dviselect, as is psbook, via Angus Duggan's dvibook; pstops is modeled on Tom Rokicki's dvidvi. psjoin was originally written by Tom Sato: http://t-sato.in.coocan.jp INSTALLATION To build, you need the following programs installed, as well as a standard POSIX environment and C compiler: automake, autoconf, git, Perl, bash, a2ps Then run: ./bootstrap && ./configure && make check && [sudo] make install For build options, see ./configure --help BUGS Please send bug reports, patches and suggestions to the bug tracker or maintainer (see the top of this file).
