13 Psselect selects pages from a PostScript document, creating a new Post‐
14 Script file. The input PostScript file should follow the Adobe Document
15 Structuring Conventions.
16
17 The -e option selects all of the even pages; it may be used in conjunc‐
18 tion with the other page selection options to select the even pages
19 from a range of pages.
20
21 The -o option selects all of the odd pages; it may be used in conjunc‐
22 tion with the other page selection options.
23
24 The -ppages option specifies the pages which are to be selected. Pages
25 is a comma separated list of page ranges, each of which may be a page
26 number, or a page range of the form first-last. If first is omitted,
27 the first page is assumed, and if last is omitted, the last page is
28 assumed.
29
30 The prefix character `_' indicates that the page number is relative to
31 the end of the document, counting backwards. If just this character
32 with no page number is used, a blank page will be inserted.
33
34 The -r option causes psselect to output the selected pages in reverse
35 order.
36
37 Psselect normally prints the page numbers of the pages rearranged; the
38 -q option suppresses this.
39
40 If any of the -r, -e, or -o options are specified, the page range must
41 be given with the -p option. This is for backwards compatibility with
42 previous versions.
43
44
46 The page number given to psselect is the number of the page counting
47 from the start or end of the file, starting at one. The actual page
48 number in the document may be different.
