By default, the 6-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 3.0cm' 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-slides6up sets that as 2.7cm, 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-slides6up 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-slides6up 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 '-6up' applied to their names by default. To change the suffix, +use the '--suffix' option, for example +.PP +.RS +.B pdfjam-slides6up --suffix '2x3' --batch myslides1.pdf myslides2.pdf +.RE +.PP +will result in files named 'myslides1-2x3.pdf' and 'myslides2-2x3.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'. +.PP +pdfjam-slides6up is part of the "PDFjam" package of tools, whose homepage is at +http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam \&. +.PP +.SH "SETUP" +.PP +See http://go.warwick.ac.uk/pdfjam . +.PP +.SH "USAGE" +.PP +For the other available options and +site/user defaults, see the output of +.PP +.RS +.B pdfjam --help +.RE +.PP +For further information and some examples see +http://go.warwick.ac.uk/pdfjam \&. +.PP +.SH "LIMITATIONS AND BUGS" +.PP +pdfjam-slides6up does not work with encrypted PDF files, and does not +preserve hyperlinks. +.PP +Please report bugs!
