impose
IMPOSE(1) [FIXME: manual] IMPOSE(1)
NAME
impose - impose is used for two-up printing of DSC complient postscript. It makes an effort to remove white space from the printout by
probing the original postscript for the bounding box of the printed area. This makes the output much more esthetic than does a simplistic
layout of non-cropped original papers.
SYNOPSIS
impose [-help] [-letter] [-height h] [-width w] [-scale s ] [-noscale ] [-pages p ] [-xm x ] [-xrm x ] [-xlm x ] [-ym y ] [-gutter ]
[-noglue ] [-bbox b1,b2,b3,b4 ] [-noevenodd ] [-evenbbox b1,b2,b3,b4 ] [-oddbbox b1,b2,b3,b4 ] [-lastbbox ] [-stdout ] [-rtl ]
postscript.file
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the impose. Run it with '-help' to see description of options
This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
