+PDFXUP -- v1.30 (2015/10/06)
+N. Markey <pdfxup@markey.fr>
+
+
+pdfxup is a unix/linux shell script that creates a PDF
+document where each page is obtained by combining several
+pages of a PDF file given as output. The important feature
+of pdfxup, compared to similar programs, is that it tries to
+compute the (global) bounding box of the input PDF file, in
+order to remove the margins and to keep the text only.
+Instead of having the font size divided by 2 (for the case
+of 2-up output), in some case you may end up with the same
+font size as in the original document (as is the case for a
+default 'article' document produced by LaTeX).
+
+pdfxup uses ghostscript for computing the maximal bounding
+box of (some of) the pages of the document, and then uses
+pdflatex (with graphicx package) in order to produce the new
+document.
