NAME¶
pdfnup - n-up the pages of pdf filesSYNOPSIS¶
pdfnup [OPTION [OPTION] ...] [SRC [PAGESPEC] [SRC [PAGESPEC]] ...]DESCRIPTION¶
pdfnup converts files in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) to "n-up" PDF files, that is, with multiple input pages per output page, for more economical printing etc. The default processing is to 2-up landscape output with no frame around pages, equivalent to using the options '--nup 2x1 --landscape true --frame false'. If no source PDF file ('SRC') is specified, input is from /dev/stdin. If 'PAGESPEC' is omitted, all pages are processed. Source files are processed sequentially into a single output unless the '--batch' option is used, in which case they are processed separately. pdfnup 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 '-nup' applied to their names by default. To change the suffix, use the '--suffix' option, for examplepdfnup --nup 2x2 --suffix '2x2' --batch myfile1.pdf
myfile2.pdf
will result in files named 'myfile1-2x2.pdf' and 'myfile2-2x2.pdf'.
pdfnup is a simple wrapper for pdfjam, which provides a front end to many of the

pdflatex, with the pdfpages and geometry packages, is required.
