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.
