       auto-multiple-choice-imprime - prints AMC multiple choice answer sheets to be distributed to the students

SYNOPSIS

       auto-multiple-choice imprime --sujet subject.pdf --fich-nums numbers-file.txt --data data-dir
                            --methode method [where-to-print-arguments...]

DESCRIPTION

       The auto-multiple-choice imprime command prints selected copies from a AMC multiple choice answer sheet.

   What to print
       The following arguments describe what to print:

       --sujet subject.pdf
           sets the subject file (prepared by auto-multiple-choice-prepare(1)).

       --fich-nums numbers-file.txt
           gives a file where the numbers of the copies to be printed are written (one number per line). If this
           argument is not given, all the copies will be printed.

       --data data-dir
           gives the directory where data files are (see for example auto-multiple-choice-meptex(1)). The layout
           database in the data directory is used to know at which page of the subject file each copy begins and
           ends.

       --split
           asks to print separate answer sheets separately.

       --answer-first
           asks to reorder the pages of each copy to get the separate answer sheet first.

   Where to print
       Several printing methods are currently defined:

       •   with "--methode CUPS", auto-multiple-choice imprime prints to a CUPS printer. One print job is sent
           for each copy, allowing for example to use stapling. Use the following options with this method:

           --imprimante printer
               sets the CUPS printer name to print to.

           --options cups-options
               gives CUPS options, in the opt1=value1,opt2=value2,...  format.

       •   with "--methode file", auto-multiple-choice imprime outputs the answer sheets to files (one for each
           copy).

           --output filename
               sets the filename for outputs. The '%e' sequence will be replaced by a 4-digits copy number. If
               filename does not contain '%e', the string '-%e.pdf' will be added at its end.

       •   with "--methode command", auto-multiple-choice imprime will use a provided command for each copy.

           --print-command command
               gives the command to be used for printing. The command string will be split at each space
               character (even when using quotes...). The sequence '%f' will be replaced by a PDF filename
               (containing the copy to print), and '%e' will be replaced by the copy number.

   Other options
       Other available options:

       --extract-with command
           gives the command to use to extract pages from the PDF subject. Currently, pdftk, gs and qpdf are
           available. The default value is pdftk, but qpdf and then gs will be used if the pdftk command is not
           installed.
