-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Psnup
-puts multiple logical pages onto each physical sheet of paper.
-The input PostScript file should follow the Adobe Document Structuring
-Conventions.
-.PP
-The
-.I \-w
-option gives the paper width, and the
-.I \-h
-option gives the paper height,
-normally specified in
-.B "cm"
-or
-.B "in"
-to convert
-PostScript's points (1/72 of an inch)
-to centimeters or inches.
-The
-.I \-p
-option can be used as an alternative, to set the paper size to
-.B a3, a4, a5, b5, letter, legal, tabloid, statement, executive, folio, quarto
-or
-.B 10x14.
-The default paper size is
-.B a4.
-The
-.I \-W, \-H,
-and
-.I \-P
-options set the input paper size, if it is different from the output
-size. This makes it easy to impose pages of one size on a different size of
-paper.
-.PP
-The
-.I \-l
-option should be used for pages which are in landscape orientation (rotated 90
-degrees anticlockwise). The
-.I \-r
-option should be used for pages which are in seascape orientation (rotated 90
-degrees clockwise), and the
-.I \-f
-option should be used for pages which have the width and height interchanged,
-but are not rotated.
-.PP
-.I Psnup
-normally uses `row-major' layout, where adjacent pages are placed in rows
-across the paper.
-The
-.I \-c
-option changes the order to `column-major', where successive pages are placed
-in columns down the paper.
-.PP
-A margin to leave around the whole page can be specified with the
-.I \-m
-option. This is useful for sheets of `thumbnail' pages, because the normal
-page margins are reduced by putting multiple pages on a single sheet.
-.PP
-The
-.I \-b
-option is used to specify an additional margin around each page on a sheet.
-.PP
-The
-.I \-d
-option draws a line around the border of each page, of the specified width.
-If the \fIlwidth\fR parameter is omitted, a default linewidth of 1 point is
-assumed. The linewidth is relative to the original page dimensions,
-\fIi.e.\fR it is scaled down with the rest of the page.
-.PP
-The scale chosen by
-.I psnup
-can be overridden with the
-.I \-s
-option. This is useful to merge pages which are already reduced.
-.PP
-The
-.I \-\fInup\fR
-option selects the number of logical pages to put on each sheet of paper. This
-can be any whole number;
-.I psnup
-tries to optimise the layout so that the minimum amount of space is wasted. If
-.I psnup
-cannot find a layout within its tolerance limit, it will abort with an error
-message. The alternative form
-.I \i \fInup\fR
-can also be used, for compatibility with other n-up programs.
-.PP
-.I Psnup
-normally prints the page numbers of the pages re-arranged; the
-.I \-q
-option suppresses this.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-The potential use of this utility is varied but one particular
-use is in conjunction with
-.I psbook(1).
-For example, using groff to create a PostScript document and lpr as
-the
-.SM UNIX
-print spooler a typical command line might look like this:
-.sp
-groff -Tps -ms \fIfile\fP | psbook | psnup -2 | lpr
-.sp
-Where file is a 4 page document this command will result in a
-two page document printing two pages of \fIfile\fP per page and
-rearranges the page order to match the input pages 4 and 1
-on the first output page and
-pages 2 then 3 of the input document
-on the second output page.
