+.SH "NAME"
+pdfnup \- n-up the pages of pdf files
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+pdfnup [OPTION [OPTION] \&.\&.\&.] [SRC [PAGESPEC] [SRC [PAGESPEC]] \&.\&.\&.]
+.PP
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+pdfnup converts files in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF)
+to "n-up" PDF files, that is, with multiple input pages
+per output page, for
+more economical printing etc\&. The default processing is to 2-up
+landscape output with no frame around pages, equivalent to using the
+options '--nup 2x1 --landscape true --frame false'.
+.PP
+If no source PDF file ('SRC') is specified, input
+is from /dev/stdin. If 'PAGESPEC' is omitted, all pages are processed.
+.PP
+Source files are processed sequentially into a single output
+unless the '--batch' option is used, in which case they are processed
+separately.
+.PP
+pdfnup operates on one or more PDF files, and (either with the '--batch'
+option or with '--outfile DIR' where 'DIR' is a directory) the
+resulting files have
+the suffix '-nup' applied to their names by default. To change
+the suffix,
+use the '--suffix' option, for example
+.PP
+.RS
+.B pdfnup --nup 2x2 --suffix '2x2' --batch myfile1.pdf myfile2.pdf
+.RE
+.PP
+will result in files named 'myfile1-2x2.pdf' and 'myfile2-2x2.pdf'.
+.PP
+pdfnup is a simple wrapper for pdfjam, which provides a front end to many of the capabilities of the pdfpages

+the pdfpages and geometry packages, is required\&.
