This makes it easy to impose pages of one size on a different size of +paper. +.PP +The +.I \-l +option should be used for pages which are in landscape orientation (rotated 90 +degrees anticlockwise). The +.I \-r +option should be used for pages which are in seascape orientation (rotated 90 +degrees clockwise), and the +.I \-f +option should be used for pages which have the width and height interchanged, +but are not rotated. +.PP +.I Psnup +normally uses `row-major' layout, where adjacent pages are placed in rows +across the paper. +The +.I \-c +option changes the order to `column-major', where successive pages are placed +in columns down the paper. +.PP +A margin to leave around the whole page can be specified with the +.I \-m +option. This is useful for sheets of `thumbnail' pages, because the normal +page margins are reduced by putting multiple pages on a single sheet. +.PP +The +.I \-b +option is used to specify an additional margin around each page on a sheet. +.PP +The +.I \-d +option draws a line around the border of each page, of the specified width. +If the \fIlwidth\fR parameter is omitted, a default linewidth of 1 point is +assumed. The linewidth is relative to the original page dimensions, +\fIi.e.\fR it is scaled down with the rest of the page. +.PP +The scale chosen by +.I psnup +can be overridden with the +.I \-s +option. This is useful to merge pages which are already reduced. +.PP +The +.I \-\fInup\fR +option selects the number of logical pages to put on each sheet of paper. This +can be any whole number; +.I psnup +tries to optimise the layout so that the minimum amount of space is wasted. If +.I psnup +cannot find a layout within its tolerance limit, it will abort with an error +message. The alternative form +.I \-i \fInup\fR +can also be used, for compatibility with other n-up programs. +.PP +.I Psnup +normally prints the page numbers of the pages re-arranged; the +.I \-q +option suppresses this. +.SH EXAMPLES +The potential use of this utility is varied but one particular +use is in conjunction with +.I psbook(1). +For example, using groff to create a PostScript document and lpr as +the +.SM UNIX +print spooler a typical command line might look like this: +.sp +groff -Tps -ms \fIfile\fP | psbook | psnup -2 | lpr +.sp +Where file is a 4 page document this command will result in a +two page document printing two pages of \fIfile\fP per page and +rearranges the page order to match the input pages 4 and 1 +on the first output page and +pages 2 then 3 of the input document +on the second output page. +.SH AUTHOR +Copyright (C) Angus J.
