NAME

       pdfnup - n-up the pages of pdf files

SYNOPSIS

       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 example

              pdfnup --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  capabilities  of  the
       pdfpages  package  for  pdflatex.   A  working  installation  of pdflatex, with the pdfpages and geometry
       packages, is required.

       pdfnup is part of the "PDFjam" package of tools, whose homepage is at  http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam
