NAME

pdfunp - n-up the pages of pdf files

SYNOPSIS

pdfnup [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]...

DESCRIPTION

pdfnup converts files in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) to "n-up" PDF files, that is, with multiple reduced-size input pages per output page, for more economical printing etc.

pdfnup is a front end to some of the capabilities of the pdfpages package for pdflatex. A working installation of pdflatex with the pdfpages package is required.

pdfnup is part of the "PDFjam" package of tools, whose homepage is at http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam.

SETUP

See http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam, or the file PDFjam-readme.html included with the PDFjam package.

USAGE

For the available options and local/user defaults, see the output of

    pdfnup --help

For further information and some examples see http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam or the file PDFjam-readme.html included with the PDFjam package.

CONFIGURATION FILES

Configuration of pdfnup involves specifying the location of pdflatex, the location of temporary files, specification of default page size, etc. This is done in a block of lines at the top of the pdfnup shell script itself; settings made there are over-ridden by any that are found at a site-wide configuration file (at /etc/pdfnup.conf, /usr/share/etc/pdfnup.conf, /usr/local/share/pdfnup.conf, or /usr/local/etc/pdfnup.conf), which in turn are over-ridden by any that are found in a user-defaults file at ~/.pdfnup.conf.

LIMITATIONS AND BUGS

pdfnup does not work with encrypted PDF files, and does not preserve hyperlinks.

Please report bugs! See the website at http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam.

LICENSE

PDFjam is distributed under the GNU public license. See the file COPYING for details.
