+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+ Version 2, June 1991
+
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+ 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+ Preamble
+
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+ 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+ whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+ part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+ parties under the terms of this License.
+
+ c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+ when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+ interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+ announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+ notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+ a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+ these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+ License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+ does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+ the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+ 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+ source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+ 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+ distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+ to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
+ allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+ received the program in object code or executable form with such
+ an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+ 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+ 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+ 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+ 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+ 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+ 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+ 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+ NO WARRANTY
+
+ 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+ 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+ Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
+
+ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+ it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+ the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+ (at your option) any later version.
+
+ This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
+ GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+ You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+ along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
+ Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
+
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
+ Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+ Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+ `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
+
+ <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
+ Ty Coon, President of Vice
+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
+Public License instead of this License.

+
+<h2 align="justify">Overview</h2>
+
+<p><strong>PDFjam</strong> is a small collection of shell scripts which provide a simple interface to much of the functionality of the excellent <a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages/pdfpages.pdf" title="Link to the pdfpages manual (PDF)">pdfpages <img src="http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/brands/icons/acrobat.gif" alt="PDF file" title="PDF file" border="0" height="16" width="16" /></a> package (by Andreas Matthias) for <a href="http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex/">pdfLaTeX</a>. These scripts take one or more PDF files (and/or JPG/PNG graphics files) as input, and produce one or more PDF files as output. They are useful for joining files together, selecting pages, reducing several source pages onto one output page, etc., etc.</p>
+
+<p>The main script is named &quot;<strong><tt>pdfjam</tt></strong>&quot;. This is the core of the package.</p>
+
+<p>All of the other scripts provided in the PDFjam package are optional extras. They are simple wrappers for calls to <tt>pdfjam</tt>, designed to perform some common tasks such as joining or n-upping PDF files or to illustrate other features; they are not very elaborate, nor are they extensively tested. They are probably best thought of as simple templates that can be used for constructing more elaborate wrapper scripts as required. At present the wrapper scripts distributed in the PDFjam package are: </p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> <strong><tt>pdfnup</tt></strong>, which allows one or more PDF files to be &quot;n-upped&quot; in roughly the way that <a href="http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~ajcd/psutils/psnup.html"><tt>psnup</tt></a> does for PostScript files. (This was the original motivation: for files that have to be printed, or have to be made available to dozens or hundreds of other people for printing, n-up formatting saves trees!)</li>
+ <li><strong><tt>pdfpun</tt></strong>, similar to <tt>pdfnup</tt> but arranges the source pages right-to-left on the output page, ie in a format more suitable for right-to-left languages. This script works only on one file at a time. (Thanks to Ido for suggesting this.)</li>
+ <li> <strong><tt>pdfjoin</tt></strong>, which combines the pages of multiple PDF files together into a single file.</li>
+ <li> <strong><tt>pdf90</tt></strong>, <strong><tt>pdf180</tt></strong> and <strong><tt>pdf270</tt></strong> which rotate the pages of one or more PDF files.</li>
+ <li><strong><tt>pdfflip</tt></strong> which reflects the pages of one or more PDF files. (Suitable for making transparencies if you want to write on the back of them!)</li>
+ <li><strong><tt>pdfbook</tt></strong> which arranges pages into 2-up &quot;signatures&quot; (like <a href="http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~ajcd/psutils/psbook.html"><tt>psbook</tt></a> does for PostScript files), suitable for binding into a book. (Many people have suggested that this would be useful &mdash; I hope it is!)</li>
+ <li><strong><tt>pdfjam-pocketmod</tt></strong> which converts 8 pages from a single PDF file into a pocket-sized booklet. (<a href="http://repocketmod.com/">Folding instructions here!</a> Thanks to Thomas Nemeth for suggesting this.)</li>
+ <li><strong><tt>pdfjam-slides6up</tt></strong> and <strong><tt>pdfjam-slides3up</tt></strong> which process PDF presentation slides to six-per-page or three-per-page for handout purposes. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p> A potential drawback of <tt>pdfjam</tt> and other scripts based upon it is that any hyperlinks in the source PDF are lost. On the positive side, there is no appreciable degradation of image quality in processing PDF files with these programs, unlike some other indirect methods such as&nbsp; <tt>pdf2ps | psnup | ps2pdf</tt> &nbsp;(in the author's experience). </p>
+
+<p> These tools are designed for Unix-like systems, including Linux and Mac OS X. It seems that they will work also on Windows computers with a suitable installation of <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</a> (with the Cygwin <tt>tetex-extras</tt> package installed), but this has not been extensively tested.</p>
+
+<p> An alternative set of PDF manipulation tools, which are java-based, is provided by the <a href="http://multivalent.sourceforge.net/">Multivalent</a> project. They do much the same things as <tt>pdfjam</tt>, and quite a bit more. Hyperlinks don't seem to be preserved there either, though, when n-upping a document. </p>
+
+<p> For Mac OS X, n-up with a more visual interface is provided by <a href="http://evolve.lse.ac.uk/software/PDFNupMaker/">PDF Nup Maker</a>. Like <tt>pdfjam</tt>, this is a front end to pdflatex/pdfpages. </p>
+
+<p> The PDFjam software is made available free, under GPL version 2 (see the file named <tt>COPYING</tt> that is included with the package). It comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY of fitness for any purpose whatever. </p>
+
+<p> <a name="prereq"></a></p>
+
+<h2 align="justify">Pre-requisites</h2>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>A Unix-like operating system (Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, etc.; possibly Cygwin)</li>
+ <li>A working, up-to-date installation of <a href="http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex">pdfTeX</a> (including <tt>pdflatex</tt> and an up-to-date copy of <a href="http://pdftex-def.berlios.de/"><tt>pdftex.def</tt></a>)</li>
+ <li>A working installation of the LaTeX package <a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages">pdfpages</a> (version 0.4f or later)</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Some of the options offered by <tt>pdfjam</tt> also require the LaTeX packages <a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/geometry/">geometry</a> and <a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref/">hyperref</a>.</p>
+
+<p> <a name="documentation"></a></p>
+
+<h2 align="justify">Documentation</h2>
+
+<p>The primary documentation for <tt>pdfjam</tt>, and hence for the other scripts that call it, is obtained by </p>
+
+<pre> pdfjam --help
+</pre>
+<p>This gives information on the arguments to <tt>pdfjam</tt>, and the default settings that apply at your installation. In addition to the arguments that are explicitly documented there, <tt>pdfjam</tt> provides access to all of the options of the pdfpages package: that's a large number of options, and it's a set of options that might change, so users are referred to the current <a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages/pdfpages.pdf" title="Link to the pdfpages manual (PDF)">pdfpages manual <img src="http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/brands/icons/acrobat.gif" alt="PDF file" title="PDF file" border="0" height="16" width="16" /></a> to see what's available.</p>
+
+<p>In addition, each of the scripts has a (rather basic) <tt>man</tt> page. For example,</p>
+
+<pre> man pdfjam-pocketmod
+</pre>
+<p>gives information about usage and other aspects of the <tt>pdfjam-pocketmod</tt> script.</p>
+
+<p> <a name="download"></a></p>
+
+<h2 align="justify">Download</h2>
+
+<p>PDFjam is a project at <a href="http://freshmeat.net/projects/pdfjam/">freshmeat</a>: please subscribe there to receive update announcements.</p>

+<p>(If for some reason you don't want the latest version, you can still get older versions. Since version 2.00 the URLs are all of the form <tt>http://go.warwick.ac.uk/pdfjam/pdfjam_VN.tgz</tt>, with &quot;VN&quot; representing the version number. So &quot;VN&quot; could be 2.00, 2.01, 2.02, 2.03 or 2.04; from PDFjam version 2.05 onwards, the dot will be omitted from the version number in the file name, so &quot;VN&quot; will be 205, 206, etc.)</p>

+
+<p>Cosmin Popescu has written a <a href="http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/pdfnup-gui?content=134874.">front-end to the pdfnup script, based on Qt</a>.<br />
+ </p>
+
+<p>To download some stand-alone <em>Mac OS X droplets</em> (based on PDFjam version 1.21), see <a href="#droplets">below</a>. </p>
+
+<p> <a name="install"></a></p>
+
+<h2 align="justify">Installation/configuration</h2>
+
+<p>The shell scripts in the <em>bin</em> sub-directory of the package should be placed on the PATH of anyone who needs to use them.</p>
+
+<p>The man files in the <em>man1</em> sub-directory should be installed on the <tt>MANPATH</tt> of all who need to read them.</p>
+
+<p> On many unix-like systems the scripts should run without any further configuration, provided that the pre-requisite TeX installation is present. If you want to check (e.g., prior to installation) that <tt>pdfjam</tt> will work on your system, please unzip the <em>tests</em> sub-directory of the package and follow the instructions that appear in <tt>tests/README-tests.txt</tt>.</p>
+
+<p>If configuration <em>is</em> needed, this can be done through a site-wide or user-specific configuration file. This might be necessary if, for example, your site has a non-standard TeX installation, or a non-standard location for temporary files, or a paper size that is different from the A4 international standard.</p>
+
+<p>The file <a href="pdfjam.conf" title="Sample pdfjam configuration file, plain text"><tt>pdfjam.conf</tt></a> is a sample configuration file which can be edited as needed. After editing, either install the file for site-wide use (at <tt>/etc/pdfjam.conf</tt>, <tt>/usr/share/etc/pdfjam.conf</tt>, <tt>/usr/local/share/pdfjam.conf</tt>, or <tt>/usr/local/etc/pdfjam.conf</tt>) or as a user-defaults file at <tt>~/.pdfjam.conf</tt>. User settings made at <tt>~/.pdfjam.conf</tt> override corresponding settings made in a site-wide configuration file.</p>
+
+<p>For example, if you want your own output to be on &quot;US letter&quot; size paper by default, simply put the line </p>
+
+<pre> paper=letterpaper
+</pre>
+<p> in a plain text file named file <tt>.pdfnup.conf</tt> in your home directory. (The code word <tt>letterpaper</tt> is how LaTeX refers to that particular page size; for other available paper sizes, please see the output of <tt>pdfjam --help</tt>.)</p>
+
+<p>On some systems it might even be necessary to change the list of places (i.e., <tt>/etc/pdfjam.conf</tt> and others as listed above) that is searched for site-wide configuration files. This can only be done by editing the <tt>pdfjam</tt> script itself. To see which directories on <em>your</em> system are searched for a file named <tt>pdfjam.conf</tt>, use </p>
+
+<pre> pdfjam --configpath
+</pre>
+<p> <a name="using"></a></p>
+
+<h2 align="justify">Using the scripts</h2>
+
+<p>For a full overview of what <tt>pdfjam</tt> can do, the importance of the <a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages/pdfpages.pdf" title="Link to the pdfpages manual (PDF)">pdfpages manual <img src="http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/brands/icons/acrobat.gif" alt="PDF file" title="PDF file" border="0" height="16" width="16" /></a> cannot be stressed enough! The following examples merely serve as a brief introduction.</p>
+
+<h3 align="justify">Example 1</h3>
+
+<p>Consider converting each of two documents to a side-by-side &quot;2-up&quot; format. Since we want the two documents to be processed separately, we'll use the <tt>--batch</tt> option: </p>
+
+<pre> pdfjam --batch --nup 2x1 --suffix 2up --landscape --outfile . file1.pdf file2.pdf
+</pre>
+<p> This will produce new files <tt>file1-2up.pdf</tt> and <tt>file2-2up.pdf</tt> in the current working directory. The above call could be shortened a bit, by using <tt>pdfnup</tt>, to</p>
+
+<pre> pdfnup --batch --suffix 2up file1.pdf file2.pdf
+</pre>
+<p> In a 'vanilla' installation of <tt>pdfjam</tt>, the default for <tt>--outfile</tt> is the current working directory.</p>
+
+<h3 align="justify">Example 2</h3>
+
+<p>Suppose we want a single new document which puts together selected pages from two different files: </p>
+
+<pre> pdfjam file1.pdf '{},2-' file2.pdf '10,3-6' --outfile ../myNewFile.pdf
+</pre>
+<p>The new file <tt>myNewFile.pdf</tt>, in the parent directory of the current one, contains an empty page, followed by all pages of <tt>file1.pdf</tt> except the first, followed by pages 10, 3, 4, 5 and 6 from <tt>file2.pdf</tt>. </p>
+
+<p> The resulting PDF page size will be whatever is the default paper size for you at your site. If instead you want to preserve the page size of (the first included page from) <tt>file1.pdf</tt>, use the option <tt>--fitpaper true</tt>: this is the default action of the <tt>pdfjoin</tt> convenience script. </p>
+
+<p>(All pages in an output file from <tt>pdfjam</tt> will have the same size and orientation: for joining together PDF files while preserving different page sizes and orientations, <tt>pdfjam</tt> is not the tool to use; and since <tt>pdfjoin</tt> simply calls <tt>pdfjam</tt>, the same comment applies also to <tt>pdfjoin</tt>. I'm told that if you have <a href="http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/">Ghostscript</a> installed, something along these lines might more nicely join files with different page sizes and orientations: </p>
+
+<pre> gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=finished.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf
+</pre>
+<p>But I haven't tried it.)</p>
+
+<h3 align="justify">Example 3</h3>
+
+<p>To make a portrait-oriented 4-up file from the pages of three input files, with a thin-line frame around the input pages,</p>
+
+<pre> pdfjam file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf --no-landscape --frame true --nup 2x2 \
+ --suffix 4up --outfile ~/Documents
+</pre>
+<p>Here a <em>directory</em> was specified at <tt>--outfile</tt>: the resultant file in this case will be ~/Documents/file3-4up.pdf. (Note that <strong>if there's a writeable file with that name already, it will be overwritten</strong>: no check is made, and no warning given.)</p>
+
+<h3 align="justify">Example 4</h3>
+
+<p>Suppose we have a document made up of &quot;US letter&quot; size pages, and we want to convert it to A4:</p>
+
+<pre> pdfjam 'my US letter file.pdf' --a4paper --outfile 'my A4 file.pdf'
+</pre>
+<h3 align="justify">Example 5</h3>
+
+<p>A useful application of <tt>pdfjam</tt> is for producing a handout from a file of presentation slides. For slides made with the standard 4:3 aspect ratio a nice 6-up handout on A4 paper can be made by </p>
+
+<pre> pdfjam --nup 2x3 --frame true --noautoscale false --delta &quot;0.2cm 0.3cm&quot; \
+ --scale 0.95 myslides.pdf --outfile myhandout.pdf
+</pre>
+<p>The <tt>--delta</tt> option here comes from the pdfpages package; the <tt>--scale</tt> option is passed to LaTeX's <tt>\includegraphics</tt> command. </p>
+
+<p>The two wrapper scripts <tt>pdfjam-slides6up</tt> and <tt>pdfjam-slides3up</tt> are provided in order to make this particular application of <tt>pdfjam</tt> easy: for example, </p>
+
+<pre> pdfjam-slides3up --pagenumbering true --batch slides1.pdf slides2.pdf
+</pre>
+<p>makes a pair of 3-up handouts <tt>slides1-3up.pdf</tt> and <tt>slides2-3up.pdf</tt>, with space for side-notes and with the handout pages numbered.</p>
+
+<p>(Slides made by LaTeX's <em>beamer</em> package, using the <tt>handout</tt> class option, work especially nicely with this!)</p>
+
+<h3 align="justify">Example 6</h3>
+
+<p> Suppose we want to trim the pages of our input file prior to n-upping. This can be done by using a pipe: </p>
+
+<pre> pdfjam myfile.pdf --trim '1cm 2cm 1cm 2cm' --clip true --outfile /dev/stdout | \
+ pdfnup --frame true --outfile myoutput.pdf
+</pre>
+<p>The <tt>--trim</tt> option specifies an amount to trim from the left, bottom, right and top sides respectively; to work as intended here it needs also <tt>--clip true</tt>. These (i.e., <tt>trim</tt> and <tt>clip</tt>) are in fact options to LaTeX's <tt>\includegraphics</tt> command (in the standard <em>graphics</em> package).</p>
+
+<p>(Thanks to Christophe Lange and Christian Lohmaier for suggesting an example on this.)</p>
+
+<h3 align="justify">Example 7</h3>
+
+<p>To offset the content of double-sided printed pages so that they are suitable for binding with a <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heftstreifen">Heftstreifen</a>, use the <tt>--twoside</tt> option:</p>
+
+<pre> pdfjam --twoside myfile.pdf --offset '1cm 0cm' --suffix 'offset'
+</pre>
+<h3 align="justify">Example 8</h3>
+
+<p> To use PDF input files whose names do not end in &quot;<tt>.pdf</tt>&quot;, you will need to use the <tt>--checkfiles</tt> option. This depends on the availability of the <tt>file</tt> utility, with support for the options <tt>-Lb</tt>; this can be checked by trying </p>
+
+<pre> file -Lb 'my PDF file'
+</pre>
+<p> where <tt>'my PDF file'</tt> is the name of a PDF file on your system. The result should be something like &quot;<tt>PDF document, version 1.4</tt>&quot; (possibly with a different version number).</p>
+
+<p> With &quot;<tt>file -Lb</tt>&quot; available, we can use PDF files whose names lack the usual &quot;<tt>.pdf</tt>&quot; extension. For example, </p>
+
+<pre> pdfnup --checkfiles 'my PDF file'
+</pre>
+<p>should result in a file named &quot;<tt>my PDF file-nup.pdf</tt>&quot; in the current working directory.</p>
+
+<h3 align="justify">Example 9</h3>
+
+<p>If you want to print a landscape-oriented PDF document on both sides of the paper, using a duplex printer that does not have 'tumble' capability, make a new version with every second page rotated for printing:</p>
+
+<pre> pdfjam --landscape --doublepagestwistodd true my-landscape-document.pdf
+</pre>
+<h3 align="justify">Example 10</h3>

+
+<h2 align="justify">Mac OS X only: drag-and-drop</h2>
+
+<p>Under <strong>Mac OS X</strong>, <a href="http://www.wsanchez.net/software/">DropScript</a> has been used to make some simple drag-and-drop applications. Some sample droplets are provided in <a href="http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam/pdfdroplets_1.21.dmg">pdfdroplets_1.21.dmg</a>: these may be all you'll need! The sample droplets look like this: </p>
+
+<center> <img src="pdfdroplets.png" border="0" /> </center>
+<p> These droplets assume that your pdflatex is at <tt>/usr/texbin/pdflatex</tt>. If pdflatex lives somewhere else on your system, the droplets won't work until you include in your home directory a file named <tt>.pdfnup.conf</tt> (or there is a system-wide file <tt>pdfnup.conf</tt> at one of the four locations listed above), containing the line </p>
+
+<pre>pdflatex=/path/to/pdflatex
+</pre>
+<p>where <tt> /path/to/pdflatex </tt> is the answer you get when you type <tt> which pdflatex </tt> in the Terminal. (If you get no answer, chances are that you do not have <tt>pdflatex</tt> installed on your Mac; if you need to install it, you could just download and install <a href="http://www.tug.org/mactex">MacTeX</a> or one of its slimmed-down variants.) </p>
+
+<p> <a name="faq"></a></p>
+
+<h2 align="justify">FAQ</h2>
+
+<p> <strong>1. Why &quot;PDFjam&quot;?</strong><br />
+ Because it's for PDF files, and jam is what I like best on my toast (well, second best after marmalade, anyway). </p>
+
+<p> <strong>2. The thing runs but the output doesn't look the way it should. Why?</strong><br />
+ Most likely either your pdfTeX or your pdfpages installation is an old version. (Check also that <tt>pdftex.def</tt>, to be found in in <tt>.../texmf/tex/latex/graphics/</tt>, is up to date.) If the problem persists even with up-to-date versions of pdfTeX, <tt>pdftex.def</tt> and pdfpages, then please do report it. </p>
+
+<p> <a name="bugs"></a></p>
+
+<h2 align="justify">Reporting bugs</h2>
+
+<p>Please report any bugs found in these scripts, to d.firth (at warwick.ac.uk).</p>
+
+<h3>Some known problems:</h3>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> In <em>Cygwin</em>, using <tt>pdfjam</tt> in a pipeline does not seem to work. Scripts like <tt>pdfjam-pocketmod</tt>, which use pipelines, therefore do not work there. The problem seems to be with <em>Cygwin</em>'s handling of file descriptors within pipelines.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Solving these problems is on the to-do list: if you have solved one of them already please let me know!</p>
+
+<p> <a name="history"></a></p>
+
+<h2 align="justify">Version history</h2>
+
+<p> <strong>2.08</strong>: fixed a bug in one of the tests [2010-11-14] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>2.07</strong>: two other common graphics formats (JPG and PNG) are now explicitly allowed as input files (i.e., not only PDF files are allowed as inputs). [2010-11-13] </p>
+
+<p><strong>2.06</strong>: changed the <tt>pdfbook</tt> script to include <tt>--booklet true</tt> as the default behaviour (thanks to Julien Bossert for this good suggestion). [2010-05-11] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>2.05</strong>: changes to the <tt>pdfbook</tt> script [the <tt>--right-edge-binding</tt> option is now redundant, and there's a new <tt>--short-edge</tt> option for binding along the short edge of pages instead of the long edge (thanks to Marco Pessotto for this)]. The <tt>--preamble</tt> option to <tt>pdfjam</tt> is enhanced, to allow multiple instances which get concatenated. Also various minor corrections to man pages. [2010-04-25] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>2.04</strong>: various minor improvements suggested by Debian maintainers (thanks to Eduard Bloch for these). The main things are: addition of the <tt>--version</tt> option; liberalisation of <tt>pdfjam</tt> to allow files in <em>JPEG</em> format to be specified as input, as well as PDF (I don't know why or if this might work! but some people have said it does); tidying of the man files; and more use of <tt>exec</tt>, to avoid forking. [2010-04-22] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>2.03</strong>: fixed a bug which caused problems when your <tt>/bin/sh</tt> is the <em>zsh</em> shell; fixed a bug which prevented the correct representation of many UTF-8 characters in <tt>pdfinfo</tt> data. [2010-04-20] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>2.02</strong>: more progress on portability; introduced the beginnings of a suite of tests; improvements in the <tt>--keepinfo</tt> functionality, and in the treatment of file permissions (thanks to Marco Pessotto for these). [2010-04-14] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>2.01</strong>: fixed a silly bug (thoughtless use of &quot;<tt>test -a</tt>&quot; in a couple of places) which seriously affected portability. [2010-04-13] </p>
+
+<hr color="grey" />
+<p> <strong>2.00</strong>: a <strong>major re-design</strong>. This is not completely backward-compatible with previous versions of the <tt>pdfnup</tt>, <tt>pdfjoin</tt> and <tt>pdf90</tt> scripts. The differences in interface are few, though, and the main ones are listed below. </p>
+
+<p>The main changes are:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> The new script <tt>pdfjam</tt> now does all the work; all the other scripts included with the package are just simple wrappers for <tt>pdfjam</tt>. </li>
+ <li> <tt>pdfjam</tt> makes available essentially <em>all</em> of the facilities of the pdfpages package (without having to know what they are). </li>
+ <li> Various security and portability issues have been resolved. (None of the scripts now calls for <tt>/bin/bash</tt>; and the handling of temporary files is now much safer.) </li>
+ <li> <tt>pdfjam</tt> can take PDF input from <tt>/dev/stdin</tt>, and send output to <tt>/dev/stdout</tt>. (This allows <tt>pdfjam</tt> to be used in a pipeline.) </li>
+ <li> If the <tt>--outfile</tt> option specifies a relative path, that path is now relative to the <em>current working directory</em> (as is normally expected of unix utilities). <strong>This is different behaviour from previous versions.</strong> </li>
+ <li> With multiple input files, <tt>pdfjam</tt> offers two distinct methods of processing. The default is to take pages as specified from the input files, and combine them into a single document. If the <tt>--batch</tt> option is used, <tt>pdfjam</tt> operates <em>separately</em> on the input files, producing one output file per input file. <strong>This is different behaviour from previous versions.</strong> </li>
+ <li> Page selection is available separately for each input file. A <strong>difference from previous versions</strong> is that the <tt>--pages</tt> keyword is no longer used. </li>
+ <li><tt>pdfjam</tt> uses the <tt>\includepdfmerge</tt> command from <em>pdfpages</em>, as a result of which all pages in an output file have the same size and orientation. <strong>This is different behaviour from previous versions.</strong> </li>
+ <li> Output page orientation is now controlled by using <tt>--landscape</tt> (negated, if necessary, by <tt>--no-landscape</tt>). The previous <tt>--orient</tt> option is no longer used, and in particular &quot;<tt>--orient auto</tt>&quot; is no longer available. <strong>This is different behaviour from previous versions.</strong> </li>
+ <li> Other new features include:
+ <ul>
+ <li> <tt>--keepinfo</tt> option, to allow preservation of PDF document information, if the <tt>pdfinfo</tt> utility and the LaTeX <tt>hyperref</tt> package are available (thanks to Robert Wenner for suggesting this); </li>
+ <li> <tt>--pdftitle</tt>, <tt>--pdfauthor</tt>, <tt>--pdfsubject</tt> and <tt>--pdfkeywords</tt> options, to specify new PDF document information (these require the LaTeX <tt>hyperref</tt> package); </li>
+ <li> many more &quot;named&quot; output page sizes are available if the LaTeX <tt>geometry</tt> package is installed (the full list of allowed paper specifications is: <tt>a0paper, a1paper, a2paper, a3paper, a4paper, a5paper, a6paper b0paper, b1paper, b2paper, b3paper, b4paper, b5paper, b6paper letterpaper, executivepaper, legalpaper</tt>;&nbsp; thanks to Corn&eacute; Verbruggen and Mel Irizarry for suggesting this) and non-standard page sizes can also be defined; </li>
+ <li> <tt>--checkfiles</tt> option to request that input files be checked using the <tt>file</tt> utility, rather than requiring the file name to end in &quot;<tt>.pdf</tt>&quot; or &quot;<tt>.PDF</tt>&quot;; </li>
+ <li> <tt>--twoside</tt> option, to allow the LaTeX <em>twoside</em> class option to be specified (thanks to Johannes Reinhard for suggesting this); </li>
+ <li> <tt>--pagecolor</tt> option, to allow the background colour of output pages to be changed (thanks to James Fisher for suggesting this); </li>
+ <li> <tt>--vanilla</tt> option to run <tt>pdfjam</tt> without reading site-wide or user configuration files. </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p> In addition, various reported bugs have been fixed &mdash; many thanks to all those kind people who reported them (too numerous to list here!) [2010-03-14]</p>
+
+<hr color="grey" />
+<p> <strong>1.21</strong>: bug fixes, including security issues (many thanks to Eduard Bloch, Robert Buchholz and Martin Vaeth for helpful reports on vulnerabilities and for kindly contributing patches); the scripts now call for <tt>/bin/bash</tt> as interpreter; availability of <tt>mktemp</tt> is now also assumed; the Mac OS X droplets now look for <tt>pdflatex</tt> at (by default) <tt>/usr/texbin/pdflatex</tt> [2009-01-19]</p>
+
+<p> <strong>1.20</strong>: added minimal man pages; added extra possible locations for the site-wide configuration file [2005-01-25] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>1.11</strong>: added the <tt>--scale</tt> option to pdfnup, which allows page margins either to be enlarged (e.g,. <tt>--scale 0.9</tt>) or reduced (e.g,. <tt>--scale 1.1</tt>) by scaling the page contents. By popular request! [2004-10-13] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>1.10</strong>: output files now appear by default in same directory as input, rather than in the current working directory; fixed a bug that caused the scripts not to work on some versions of Solaris (thanks to Daniel Gebhart); major improvements to the Mac OS X sample droplets. [2004-06-24] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>1.03</strong>: minor changes towards POSIX compliance. [2004-05-09] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>1.02</strong>: added a COPYING file to the package. [2004-05-08] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>1.00</strong>: package re-named PDFjam. [2004-05-07] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>0.99a</strong>: a minor change to the output of <tt>pdfnup --help</tt> and <tt>pdfjoin --help</tt> [2004-05-06] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>0.99</strong>: various improvements to pdfnup, including the handling of multiple PDF input files. Added pdfjoin and pdf90. [2004-05-05] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>0.97</strong>: corrections to the output of <tt>pdfnup --help</tt> [2004-04-23] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>0.96</strong>: minor changes to comments in the pdfnup script [2004-02-12] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>0.95</strong>: added the possibility of site-specific and user-specific configuration files (thanks to Jason Lewis for suggesting this) [2004-01-28] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>0.9</strong>: added <tt>--openright</tt> (thanks to Jason Lewis for suggesting this) [2004-01-28] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>0.8</strong>: added <tt>pdfnup --help</tt> facility (thanks to Wilfrid Kendall for this suggestion) [2003-09-12] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>0.7</strong>: paths involving spaces now permitted; page trimming added (thanks to Alex Montgomery for suggesting that); default output filename now has a dash inserted before the &quot;nup&quot; label (as in <tt> wasteful-2x2.pdf </tt>); sample Mac OS X droplets provided [2003-01-26] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>0.6</strong>: use of paths involving spaces now reports an error [2002-08-22] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>0.5</strong>: fixed a bug which caused incompatibility with some types of unix [2002-06-24] </p>
+
+<p> <strong>0.4</strong>: better error trapping, improved portability [2002-04-30] </p>

+## A file in this format can be used site-wide (as a file named

+## user (as "~/.pdfjam.conf"). User-specific settings override

+##
+## UNUSUAL TEX INSTALLATION?
+##
+## Specify the location of the 'pdflatex' to be used:
+# pdflatex='/usr/bin/pdflatex' ## typical unix installation
+# pdflatex='/usr/texbin/pdflatex' ## for MacTeX on Mac OS X
+# pdflatex='C:/texmf/miktex/bin/pdflatex.exe' ## Windows??
+##
+###############################################################
+##
+## TEMPORARY FILES
+##
+## Specify the location for temporary files written by pdfjam:
+tempfileDir='/var/tmp' ## fairly standard on many unix systems
+# tempfileDir='C:/tmp' ## use something like this under Cygwin?
+##
+## Should temporary files be deleted immediately by default?
+tidy='true' ## overridden by '--no-tidy' in the call
+# tidy='false' ## the alternative
+##
+###############################################################
+##
+## USE OF THE 'PDFINFO' UTILITY
+##
+## Specify whether pdfjam should, by default, try to run 'pdfinfo'
+## to preserve source document information in the output:
+keepinfo='false' ## overridden by '--keepinfo' in the call
+# keepinfo='true' ## the alternative
+##
+## Specify the 'pdfinfo' program to be used (if any):
+# pdfinfo='/usr/bin/pdfinfo' ## typical unix system
+# pdfinfo='/opt/local/bin/pdfinfo' ## Mac OS X with MacPorts
+##
+###############################################################
+##
+## USE OF 'file -Lb MYFILE' TO CHECK WHETHER A FILE IS A PDF FILE
+##
+## Should the '--checkfiles' option be used by default?
+checkfiles='false' ## overridden by '--checkfiles' in the call;
+# checkfiles='true' ## the alternative
+##
+###############################################################
+##
+## DEFAULT PAPER SIZE
+##
+## Set the default paper size to be used:
+paper='a4paper' ## for ISO A4 paper
+# paper='letterpaper' ## for 'US letter' paper
+##
+###############################################################
+##
+## DEFAULT PATH FOR THE --outfile OPTION
+##
+outFile="$pwd" ## the obvious default
+# outFile="$HOME/Documents" ## (another possibility, perhaps)
+# outFile=/dev/stdout ## (for easy pipes)
+##
+###############################################################
+##
+## OTHER DEFAULTS
+##
+## Defaults for some other options:
+##
+suffix='pdfjam' ## overridden by '--suffix MYSUFFIX' in the call
+##
+landscape='false' ## overridden by '--landscape' in the call
+# landscape='true' ## the alternative
+##
+twoside='false' ## overridden by '--twoside' in the call
+# twoside='true' ## the alternative
+##
+preamble='' ## concatenate other strings to this by using '--preamble'
