+.TH "pdfjam-slides3up" "1" "10 March 2010" "" ""
+.SH "NAME"
+pdfjam-slides3up \- put presentation slides onto 3-up pages
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+pdfjam-slides3up [--pagenumbering SWITCH] [OPTION [OPTION] \&.\&.\&.] [SRC [PAGESPEC] [SRC [PAGESPEC]] \&.\&.\&.]
+.PP
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+pdfjam-slides3up converts PDF files whose pages are presentation slides (with
+4:3 aspect ratio) into 3-up versions suitable for making a handout with space
+for handwritten side notes
+(for example). By default, the 3-up pages do not themselves have page numbers.
+.PP
+To put page numbers on the output pages, use either '--pagenumbering true'
+or, for example, '--pagenumbering 3.4cm' to place the page numbers a bit
+lower on the page than the default position. The value of 'SWITCH' must
+be either 'true', 'false' or a dimension that can be used by LateX. (To
+be precise, it's the value of the 'footskip' dimension in LaTeX; by default,
+pdfjam-slides3up sets that as 3.1cm, which works pretty well in
+conjunction with both '--paper a4paper' and '--paper letterpaper'.)
+.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
+pdfjam-slides3up 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
+pdfjam-slides3up 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 '-3up' applied to their names by default. To change the suffix,
+use the '--suffix' option, for example
+.PP
+.RS
+.B pdfjam-slides3up --suffix '1x3' --batch myslides1.pdf myslides2.pdf
+.RE
+.PP
+will result in files named 'myslides1-1x3.pdf' and 'myslides2-1x3.pdf'.
+.PP
+By default a narrow line frame is printed around every slide. This can be
+turned off if required by using the option '--frame false'.
