NAME

6       dvibook - rearrange pages in DVI file into signatures
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dvibook [ -q ] [ -s<num> ] [ -i infile ] [ -o outfile ] [ infile [ out‐
10       file ] ]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Dvibook rearranges pages from a DVI file produced by TeX into  ``signa‐
14       tures''  for printing books or booklets, creating a new DVI file usable
15       by any of the TeX conversion programs.
16
17       The -s option selects the size of signature which  will  be  used.  The
18       signature  size  is  the number of sides which will be folded and bound
19       together; the number given should be a multiple of four. The default is
20       to  use  one  signature  for  the whole file. Extra blank sides will be
21       added if the file does not contain a multiple of four pages.
22
23       Dvibook normally prints the page numbers of the pages  rearranged;  the
24       -q option suppresses this.

BUGS

35       Dvibook does not adjust the parameters in the postamble; however, since
36       these values are normally used only to size certain structures  in  the
37       output  conversion  programs,  and  the  parameters  never  need  to be
38       adjusted upward, this has not proven to be a problem.
