.TH PSBOOK 1 "PSUtils"
.SH NAME
psbook \- rearrange pages in PostScript file into signatures
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B psbook
.RB [ \-q ]
.RB [ \-s\fIsignature\fR ]
.RI [ infile
.RI [ outfile ]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Psbook
rearranges pages from a PostScript document into ``signatures'' for
printing books or booklets, creating a new PostScript file. The
input PostScript file should follow the Adobe Document Structuring
Conventions.
.PP
The
.B \-s
option selects the size of signature which will be used. The signature size is
the number of sides which will be folded and bound together; the number given
should be a multiple of four. The default is to use one signature for the
whole file. Extra blank sides will be added if the file does not contain a
multiple of four pages.
.PP
.B Psbook
normally prints the page numbers of the pages rearranged; the
.B \-q
option suppresses this.
