NAME

6       psselect - select pages from a PostScript file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       psselect [-q] [-e|-o] [-r] [[-p]pages] [infile [outfile]]
10

DESCRIPTION

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

NOTES

45       The page number given to psselect is the number of  the  page  counting
46       from  the  start  or  end of the file, starting at one. The actual page
47       number in the document may be different.
