SYNOPSIS

] [ --outfile out.pdf ] [ --tidy tidy ] source.pdf

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the pdfjoin command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has inline documentation accessible with pdfjoin --help.

pdfjoin which concatenates the pages of multiple PDF files together into a single PDF file. It depends on a working installation of (pdf)LaTeX.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.
--paper
papersize

A LaTeX papersize, for example a4paper or letterpaper. The default is a4paper.

--orient orientation

The output page orientation; one of landscape, portrait or auto. The auto option guesses the orientation so as to minimize paper consumption. The default is auto.

--fitpaper fitpaper

True or false according to whether output page sizes and orientations should match those of the input pages. Use of --fitpaper true overrides --orient .

--trim trimspec

A page-trimming specification such as "1cm 1cm 1cm 1cm" (including the quoting). The default is "0 0 0 0", i.e. no trimming at all. Note that trimming does not mix well with using --frame true.

--offset offset

The offset of the position of output pages, such as "1cm 0.5cm" (including the quoting). The default is "0 0", i.e. no offset at all. See the manual for the pdfLaTeX pdfpages package for further details.

--noautoscale noautoscale

True or false according to whether or not logical pages should not be scaled to fit. The default is false.

--outfile out.pdf

The name of the output file. The default is pdfjoined.pdf.

--tidy tidy

True or false according to whether or ot temporary files should be deleted immediately. If this is set to false, the temporary files are left in /var/tmp. The default is true.

CONFIGURATION FILES

Configuration of pdf90 involves specifying the location of pdflatex, the location of temporary files, etc. This is done in a block of lines at the top of the pdf90 shell script itself; settings made there are over-ridden by any that are found at a site-wide configuration file (at /etc/pdfnup.conf, /usr/share/etc/pdfnup.conf, /usr/local/share/pdfnup.conf, or /usr/local/etc/pdfnup.conf) which in turn are over-ridden by any that are found in a user-defaults file at ~/.pdfnup.conf.
