NAME

parr - rearrange pages in a PostScript file, for signatures  

SYNOPSIS

parr [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -S sheets ] [ -o pagelist ] [file]  

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.
