NAME¶
psselect - select pages from a PostScript file
SYNOPSIS¶
psselect [
-q ] [
-e ] [
-o ] [
-r ] [
-ppages ] [
pages ] [
infile [
outfile ] ]
DESCRIPTION¶
Psselect selects pages from a PostScript document, creating a new
PostScript file. The input PostScript file should follow the Adobe Document
Structuring Conventions.
The
-e option selects all of the even pages; it may be used in
conjunction with the other page selection options to select the even pages
from a range of pages.
The
-o option selects all of the odd pages; it may be used in conjunction
with the other page selection options.
The
-ppages option specifies the pages which are to be selected.
Pages is a comma separated list of page ranges, each of which may be a
page number, or a page range of the form
first-
last. If
first is omitted, the first page is assumed, and if
last is
omitted, the last page is assumed.
The prefix character `_' indicates that the page number is relative to the end
of the document, counting backwards. If just this character with no page
number is used, a blank page will be inserted.
The
-r option causes
psselect to output the selected pages in
reverse order.
Psselect normally prints the page numbers of the pages rearranged; the
-q
option suppresses this.
If any of the
-r, -e, or
-o options are specified, the page range
must be given with the
-p option. This is for backwards compatibility
with previous versions.
NOTES¶
The page number given to
psselect is the number of the page counting from
the start or end of the file, starting at one. The actual page number in the
document may be different.
