PostScript Utilities Web site: https://github.com/rrthomas/psutils Maintainer: Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org> PSUtils is a suite of utilities for manipulating PostScript documents produced according to the Document Structuring Conventions. You can select and rearrange pages, including arrangement into signatures for booklet printing, combine multple pages into a single page for n-up printing, and resize, flip and rotate pages. PSUtils is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3, or, at your option, any later version; see the file COPYING. (Some of the input files in the tests directory are not under this license; see the file COPYRIGHT in that directory.) If you simply want to use PSUtils, you will find it in most GNU/Linux distributions; it is available in brew for macOS and Cygwin for Windows. The PSUtils utilities intentionally do not check their input is DSC-conformant, as some programs produce non-conforming output that can be successfully processed anyway. If PSUtils does not work for you, check whether your software needs to be configured to produce DSC-conformant PostScript. The old-scripts directory contains some scripts that fix the output of certain obsolete programs. PREREQUISITES PSUtils requires Perl 5.14 or later plus the IPC::Run3 module, and also "paper", which allows named paper sizes to be used and configured: paper: https://github.com/rrthomas/paper INSTALLATION FROM SOURCE You need a standard POSIX environment. Having unpacked the source tarball, run: ./configure && make check && [sudo] make install For build options, see ./configure --help Note that to use the scripts before installing them, you need to run them with pre-inst-env; for example: ./pre-inst-env ./psnup -2 foo.ps INSTALLATION FROM GIT To build from git, you need the following extra programs installed: automake, autoconf, git Then run: ./bootstrap Now follow the normal installation instructions above. BUGS Please send bug reports, patches and suggestions to the bug tracker or maintainer (see the top of this file). ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PSUtils was written by Angus Duggan, who maintained it up to release 1 patchlevel 17, and Reuben Thomas. Page selection is modeled on Chris Torek's dviselect, as is psbook, via Angus Duggan's dvibook; pstops is modeled on Tom Rokicki's dvidvi. psjoin was originally written by Tom Sato: http://t-sato.in.coocan.jp Bug fixes and suggestions for improvements to PSUtils have come from many people, including: Brian Colfer brianc@labmed.ucsf.edu Charles A.
