It sets up standardC      width and height parameters and Pstops rearranges pages from a D      PostScript document, creating a new PostScript file.  The inputI      PostScript file should follow the Adobe Document Structuring Conven- J      tions.  Pstops can be used to perform a large number of arbitrary re-L      arrangements of Documents, including arranging for printing 2-up, 4-up,K      booklets, reversing, selecting front or back sides of documents, scal-       ing, etc.  J      The -w option gives the width, the default is (21cm), -h option givesM      the height, the default is (29.7cm), and are normally specified in cm or J      in to convert PostScript's points (1/72 of an inch) to centimeters orK      inches.  The -p option can be used as an alternative, to set the paper )      size to a3, a4, a5, letter or legal.   ,      The -l option prints in landscape mode.  ?      The -2, -4, -8, and -9 options print 2-, 4-, 8-, and 9-up.   L      The -b option prevents any bind operators in the PostScript prolog fromF      binding. This may be needed in cases where complex multi-page re-!      arrangements are being done.   M      Pstops normally prints the page numbers of the pages re-arranged; the -q       option suppresses this.      EXAMPLES M      The potential use of this utility is varied but one particular use is in E      conjunction with psbook(1). For example, using groff to create a L      PostScript document and lpr as the UNIX print spooler a typical command      line might look like this:   2      groff -Tps -ms file | psbook | psnup -2 | lpr  K      Where file is a 4 page document this command will result in a two page I      document printing two pages of file per page and rearranges the page H      order to match the input pages 4 and 1 on the first output page andD      pages 2 then 3 of the input document on the second output page.  	    AUTHOR       Angus Duggan I      Manual page by Brian Colfer, University of California, San Francisco       brianc@labmed.ucsf.edu         M                                                                             1                 PSNUP(1)         SEE ALSO       psbook(1), pstops(1)   
