Description:
This archive contains some utilities for manipulating PostScript
documents. Page selection and rearrangement are supported,
including arrangement into signatures for booklet printing, and
page merging for n-up printing.
PROGRAMS
psbook rearranges pages into signatures
psselect selects pages and page ranges
pstops performs general page rearrangement and selection
psnup put multiple pages per physical sheet of paper
psresize alter document paper size
epsffit fits an EPSF file to a given bounding box
psselect is modeled after Chris Torek's dviselect program, and
pstops is modeled after Tom Rokicki's dvidvi program. psbook is
modeled on my own dvibook program, which borrows heavily from
Chris Torek's dviselect.
