- _P_s_t_o_p_s rearranges pages from a PostScript document, creating
- a new PostScript file. The input PostScript file should
- follow the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions. _P_s_t_o_p_s
- can be used to perform a large number of arbitrary re-
- arrangements of Documents, including arranging for printing
- 2-up, 4-up, booklets, reversing, selecting front or back
- sides of documents, scaling, etc.
-
- _p_a_g_e_s_p_e_c_s follow the syntax:
-
- _p_a_g_e_s_p_e_c_s = [_m_o_d_u_l_o:]_s_p_e_c_s
-
- _s_p_e_c_s = _s_p_e_c[+_s_p_e_c_s][,_s_p_e_c_s]
-
- _s_p_e_c = [-]_p_a_g_e_n_o[_L][_R][_U][@_s_c_a_l_e][(_x_o_f_f,_y_o_f_f)]
-
- _m_o_d_u_l_o is the number of pages in each block. The value of
- _m_o_d_u_l_o should be greater than 0; the default value is 1.
- _s_p_e_c_s are the page specifications for the pages in each
- block. The value of the _p_a_g_e_n_o in each _s_p_e_c should be
- between 0 (for the first page in the block) and _m_o_d_u_l_o-1
- (for the last page in each block) inclusive. The optional
- dimensions _x_o_f_f and _y_o_f_f shift the page by the specified
- amount. _x_o_f_f and _y_o_f_f are in PostScript's points, but may
- be followed by the units ccccmmmm or iiiinnnn to convert to centimetres
- or inches, or the flag wwww or hhhh to specify as a multiple of
- the width or height. The optional parameters _L, _R, and _U
- rotate the page left, right, or upside-down. The optional
- _s_c_a_l_e parameter scales the page by the fraction specified.
- If the optional minus sign is specified, the page is
- relative to the end of the document, instead of the start.
-
- If page _s_p_e_cs are separated by ++++ the pages will be merged
- into one page; if they are separated by ,,,, they will be on
- separate pages. If there is only one page specification,
- with _p_a_g_e_n_o zero, the _p_a_g_e_n_o may be omitted.
-
- The shift, rotation, and scaling are performed in that order
- regardless of which order they appear on the command line.
-
- The -_w option gives the width which is used by the wwww
- dimension specifier, and the -_h option gives the height
- which is used by the hhhh dimension specifier. These dimensions
- are also used (after scaling) to set the clipping path for

- each page. The -_p option can be used as an alternative, to
- set the paper size to aaaa3333,,,, aaaa4444,,,, aaaa5555,,,, bbbb5555,,,, lllleeeetttttttteeeerrrr,,,, lllleeeeggggaaaallll,,,, or
- 11110000xxxx11114444.... The default paper size is aaaa4444....
-
- The -_b option prevents any bbbbiiiinnnndddd operators in the PostScript
- prolog from binding. This may be needed in cases where
- complex multi-page re-arrangements are being done.
-
- The -_d option draws a line around the border of each page,
- of the specified width. If the _l_w_i_d_t_h parameter is omitted,
- a default linewidth of 1 point is assumed. The linewidth is
- relative to the original page dimensions, _i._e. it is scaled
- up or down with the rest of the page.
-
- Pstops normally prints the page numbers of the pages re-
- arranged; the -_q option suppresses this.
-
- EEEEXXXXAAAAMMMMPPPPLLLLEEEESSSS
- This section contains some sample re-arrangements. To put
- two pages on one sheet (of A4 paper), the pagespec to use
- is:
-
- 2:0L@.7(21cm,0)+1L@.7(21cm,14.85cm)
-
- To select all of the odd pages in reverse order, use:
-
- 2:-0
-
- To re-arrange pages for printing 2-up booklets, use
-
- 4:-3L@.7(21cm,0)+0L@.7(21cm,14.85cm)
-
- for the front sides, and
-
- 4:1L@.7(21cm,0)+-2L@.7(21cm,14.85cm)
-
- for the reverse sides (or join them with a comma for duplex
- printing).
