DESCRIPTION
Parr
reads a conforming PostScript file, and rearranges the pages in
interesting ways, of which the primary one is signature order (for
double-sided, two-up printing). Pages can be printed more than once
or not at all, and blank pages may be inserted anywhere.
OPTIONS
- -r
-
Just print the page order to stdout.
- -s
-
Print in signature order. Default is to make one large signature,
unless the
-S
option is used. The output is meant to be passed through "up -n pup".
- -S
-
sheets
Implies the
-s
flag. Used to indicate how many sheets should be in each signature.
Note that this is the number of
double-sided
sheets.
- -o
-
pagelist
Arbitrary order. Pages are specified as a comma-separated list of
page ranges, like this: 21-,11-19,20,-10. A 'B' may be used to
indicate the printing of a blank page.
