NAME

       psbook - rearrange pages in PostScript file into signatures

SYNOPSIS

       psbook [ -q ] [ -ssignature ] [ infile [ outfile ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

       The -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.

       Psbook normally prints the page numbers of the pages rearranged; the -q option suppresses this.
