For right-edge +binding, use the '--right-edge-binding' argument; in that case, to change +the default signature is changed by using the option '--signature* N'. +.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 +pdfbook is a simple wrapper for pdfjam, which provides a front end to +many of the capabilities of the pdfpages +package for pdflatex\&. A working installation of pdflatex, with +the pdfpages package, is required\&. +.PP +pdfbook 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 '-book' applied to their names by default.
