12 pdfnup converts files in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) to
13 "n-up" PDF files, that is, with multiple reduced-size input pages per
14 output page, for more economical printing etc.
15 pdfnup is a front end to some of the capabilities of the pdfpages pack‐
17 age for pdflatex. A working installation of pdflatex with the pdfpages
18 package is required.
19 pdfnup is part of the "PDFjam" package of tools, whose homepage is at
21 http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam.

24 See http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam, or the file PDFjam-readme.html
25 included with the PDFjam package.

28 For the available options and local/user defaults, see the output of
29 pdfnup --help
31 For further information and some examples see http://www.war‐
33 wick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam or the file PDFjam-readme.html included with the
34 PDFjam package.

37 Configuration of pdfnup involves specifying the location of pdflatex,
38 the location of temporary files, specification of default page size,
39 etc. This is done in a block of lines at the top of the pdfnup shell
40 script itself; settings made there are over-ridden by any that are
41 found at a site-wide configuration file (at /etc/pdfnup.conf,
42 /usr/share/etc/pdfnup.conf, /usr/local/share/pdfnup.conf, or
43 /usr/local/etc/pdfnup.conf), which in turn are over-ridden by any that
44 are found in a user-defaults file at ~/.pdfnup.conf.
45
47 pdfnup does not work with encrypted PDF files, and does not preserve
48 hyperlinks.
