-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).
