NAME
       psbook  - rearrange pages in PostScript file into signa-
       tures

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.
