pssplit - split a PostScript file into separate single-page
files
SSSSYYYYNNNNOOOOPPPPSSSSIIIISSSS
////uuuussssrrrr////eeeettttcccc////aaaapppppppplllleeeettttaaaallllkkkk////ppppsssssssspppplllliiiitttt [ ----bbbb ] [ ----oooo _d_e_s_t_d_i_r ] [ ----nnnn
_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e ] [ ----ssss _s_u_f_f_i_x ] [ _i_n_p_u_t ]
DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
The program _p_s_s_p_l_i_t reads a PostScript print job file and
writes separate output files each containing one page of the
job, repeating the PostScript header and dictionaries in
each file. While the resulting output files will _n_o_t be
EPS, many applications that accept EPS will accept them.
The output file(s) written by _p_s_s_p_l_i_t will each have a
pathname of the form _d_e_s_t_d_i_r/_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e.pg<_n_u_m>of<_p_g_s>_s_u_f_f_i_x,
where <_n_u_m> is the sequential page numbers, starting with 1,
and <_p_g_s> is the total number of pages in the PostScript.
There is no default _s_u_f_f_i_x.
OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
If the _i_n_p_u_t filename is not provided, _p_s_s_p_l_i_t will read
from standard input. Warning: when reading from standard
input, _p_s_s_p_l_i_t will not be able to fill out any ((((aaaatttteeeennnndddd))))
values in the PostScript header, which also means it might
not know in advance how many pages will be produced (i.e.
the _p_g_s part of the output filenames will be ``0'').
----bbbb tells _p_s_s_p_l_i_t to save the last IIIImmmmaaaaggggeeeeaaaabbbblllleeeeAAAArrrreeeeaaaa comment in
the input PostScript header and put its value into the
output PostScript header as a %%%%%%%%BBBBoooouuuunnnnddddiiiinnnnggggBBBBooooxxxx:::: comment.
----oooo supplies the directory _d_e_s_t_d_i_r (which must start with
`/') where _p_s_s_p_l_i_t will write its collection of output
files. The default for _d_e_s_t_d_i_r is the current working
directory.
----nnnn gives the _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e portion of the output file
pathnames. If there is no ----nnnn argument, the _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e
defaults to the %%%%%%%%TTTTiiiittttlllleeee parameter in the PostScript
header. If there is also no %%%%%%%%TTTTiiiittttlllleeee in the header,
_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e will be the same as _i_n_p_u_t, unless reading from
standard input, where _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e defaults to ppppsssssssspppplllliiiitttt.
----ssss provides a _s_u_f_f_i_x that is appended to each generated
output file name. Note that there is _n_o_t an implied
`.' or any other separation character added before the
_s_u_f_f_i_x.

Programs generating the PostScript must conform to

PostScript Document Structuring Comments conventions to be
split. Jobs that claim to conform, but in fact do not, may
not split correctly. This indicates a bug in the
application that generated the PostScript.
