NAME¶
pdfjam - A shell script for manipulating PDF files
SYNOPSIS¶
pdfjam [OPTION [OPTION] ...] [SRC [PAGESPEC] [SRC [PAGESPEC]] ...]
DESCRIPTION¶
pdfjam provides a front end to most capabilities of the "pdfpages"
package (by Andreas Matthias) of pdflatex. Detailed information can be found
via "pdfjam --help", and also in the web page mentioned below .
A working installation of pdflatex, with the pdfpages package, is required.
The pdfjam script is distributed as (the main) part of the PDFjam package. The
homepage of PDFjam is at
http://go.warwick.ac.uk/pdfjam .
SETUP¶
See
http://go.warwick.ac.uk/pdfjam .
For further information and some examples see
http://go.warwick.ac.uk/pdfjam .
CONFIGURATION FILES¶
Configuration of the PDFjam utilities involves specifying the location of
pdflatex, the location of temporary files, specification of default page size,
etc. This is done in a block of lines near the top of the pdfjam script;
settings made there are over-ridden by any that are found at a site-wide
configuration file (at /etc/pdfjam.conf, /usr/share/etc/pdfjam.conf,
/usr/local/share/pdfjam.conf, or /usr/local/etc/pdfjam.conf), which in turn
are over-ridden by any that are found in a user-defaults file at
~/.pdfjam.conf.
LIMITATIONS AND BUGS¶
pdfjam does not work with encrypted PDF files, and does not preserve hyperlinks.
Please report bugs! See the website at
