NAME

6       pdfnup - n-up the pages of pdf files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pdfnup [OPTION [OPTION] ...] [SRC [PAGESPEC] [SRC [PAGESPEC]] ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       pdfnup  converts  files  in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) to
13       "n-up" PDF files, that is, with multiple input pages per  output  page,
14       for  more  economical  printing etc.  The default processing is to 2-up
15       landscape output with no frame around pages, equivalent  to  using  the
16       options '--nup 2x1 --landscape true --frame false'.
17
18       If  no  source PDF file ('SRC') is specified, input is from /dev/stdin.
19       If 'PAGESPEC' is omitted, all pages are processed.
20
21       Source files are processed sequentially into a single output unless the
22       '--batch' option is used, in which case they are processed separately.
23
24       pdfnup  operates  on  one  or  more  PDF  files,  and  (either with the
25       '--batch' option or with '--outfile DIR' where 'DIR'  is  a  directory)
26       the  resulting  files  have the suffix '-nup' applied to their names by
27       default.  To change the suffix, use the '--suffix' option, for example
28
29              pdfnup --nup 2x2 --suffix '2x2' --batch myfile1.pdf myfile2.pdf
30
31       will result in files named 'myfile1-2x2.pdf' and 'myfile2-2x2.pdf'.
32
33       pdfnup is a simple wrapper for pdfjam, which provides a  front  end  to
34       many of the capabilities of the pdfpages package for pdflatex.  A work‐
35       ing installation of pdflatex, with the pdfpages and geometry  packages,
36       is required.
37
38       pdfnup  is  part of the "PDFjam" package of tools, whose homepage is at
39       http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam .
