NAME
psbook - rearrange pages in PostScript file into signatures
SYNOPSIS
psbook [ -q ] [ -ssignature ] [ infile [ outfile ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Psbook rearranges pages from a PostScript document into ``signatures''
for printing books or booklets, creating a new PostScript file. The in-
put PostScript file should follow the Adobe Document Structuring Con-
ventions.
The -s option selects the size of signature which will be used. The
signature size is the number of sides which will be folded and bound
together; the number given should be a multiple of four. The default is
to use one signature for the whole file. Extra blank sides will be
added if the file does not contain a multiple of four pages.
Psbook normally prints the page numbers of the pages rearranged; the -q
option suppresses this.
