+ A set of PostScript utilities<br>
+by Dov Grobgeld</h2>
+<b>Latest version:</b> <a href="impose+-0.1.tar.gz">impose+-0.1.tar.gz</a>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+impose+ is a set of postscript utilities. The main program of impose+
+is impose which is used for two-up printing of DSC complient postscript.
+This includes postscript from e.g. netscape, dvips, and FrameMaker. It
+makes an effort to remove white space from the printout by probing the
+original postscript for the bounding box of the printed area. This makes
+the output much more esthetic than does a simplistic layout of non-cropped
+original papers.
+<p>
+impose may also be used as a print filter, e.g. for automatically
+printing two-up files from netscape.
+<p>
+The utilities are all written in perl and are released under the GNU
+public licence as described in the file COPYING. They depend on the
+installation of the psutils package by Angus J.C. Duggan.
+
+<h2>Example</h2>
+The following example shows the same pages treated by both psnup
+and by impose.
+<p>
+<center>
+<table border>
+ <tr><td align=center><img src="psnup-ex.png">
+ <td align=center><img src="impose-ex.png">
+ <tr><th>psnup -2
+ <th>impose
+</table>
+</center>
+<p>
+The left image is the simplistic tiling done by "psnup -2"
+where the whole page has been tiled. On the right is the postscript
+output of impose. As can be seen, a postscript file created by impose
+has more text and less white space on it.
+
+<h2>Contents</h2>
+
+Here is some additional descriptions of the different scripts in the
+program.
+<p>
+<dl>
+
+<dt>impose <dd> - A preprocessor to pstops by Angus J.C. Duggan, for creating
+ 2-up printouts. It uses bboxx to extract the bounding box
+ of the original postscript file and creates the 2-up copy,
+ considering only the text body and the margin parameters
+ entered by the user.
+
+<dt>bboxx<dd> - Extract the bounding box of a postscript file, with the
+ option of entering the bounding box into the file.
+
+<dt>fixtd<dd> - Set tumble and duplex options for the printout.
+
+<dt>psbl<dd> - A preprocessor to impose and psbl for creating
+ booklets.
