About:
psutils is a suite of command-line tools for manipulating PostScript and PDF documents. It provides utilities to select pages, impose sheets for booklet printing, and reduce file sizes. The package is essential for pre-press workflows and managing complex document layouts.
|
Key Features:
- Page selection and extraction (psselect)
- Booklet and signature imposition (psbook, psnup)
- Document size reduction (psresize, ps2pdf wrappers)
- Page number calculation (psnumber)
|
Use Cases:
- Creating booklets from multi-page PDF or PostScript documents
- Selecting specific page ranges for proofing or extraction
- Imposing pages for professional printing workflows
|
Alternatives:
-
Ghostscript
– Ghostscript is a full interpreter/renderer; psutils focuses on page manipulation and imposition tasks.
-
pdfjam
– pdfjam provides similar PDF manipulation but relies on a TeX installation; psutils is lighter and PostScript-native.
