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 work‐
       ing 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 .
