In addition to the arguments that are explicitly documented there, pdfjam provides access to all of the options of the pdfpages package: that's a large number of options, and it's a set of options that might change, so users are referred to the current pdfpages manual to see what's available. This gives information on the arguments to pdfjam, and the default settings that apply at your installation. The primary documentation for pdfjam, and hence for the other scripts that call it, is obtained by Some of the options offered by pdfjam also require the LaTeX packages geometry and hyperref. A working installation of the LaTeX package pdfpages (version 0.4f or later).A working, up-to-date installation of pdfTeX (including pdflatex and an up-to-date copy of f).

The PDFjam software is made available free, under GPL version 2 (see the file named COPYING that is included with the package). Like pdfjam, this is a front end to pdflatex/pdfpages.

Hyperlinks don't seem to be preserved there either, though, when n-upping a document.įor Mac OS X, n-up with a more visual interface is provided by PDF Nup Maker. They do much the same things as pdfjam, and quite a bit more. It seems that they will work also on Windows computers with a suitable installation of Cygwin (with the Cygwin tetex-extras package installed), but this has not been extensively tested.Īn alternative set of PDF manipulation tools, which are java-based, is provided by the Multivalent project. These tools are designed for Unix-like systems, including Linux and Mac OS X. On the positive side, there is no appreciable degradation of image quality in processing PDF files with these programs, unlike some other indirect methods such as pdf2ps | psnup | ps2pdf (in the author's experience). pdfjam-slides6up and pdfjam-slides3up which process PDF presentation slides to six-per-page or three-per-page for handout purposes.Ī potential drawback of pdfjam and other scripts based upon it is that any hyperlinks in the source PDF are lost.( Folding instructions here! Thanks to Thomas Nemeth for suggesting this.) pdfjam-pocketmod which converts 8 pages from a single PDF file into a pocket-sized booklet.(Many people have suggested that this would be useful - I hope it is!) pdfbook which arranges pages into 2-up 'signatures' (like psbook does for PostScript files), suitable for binding into a book.(Suitable for making transparencies if you want to write on the back of them!)

pdfflip which reflects the pages of one or more PDF files.

pdf90, pdf180 and pdf270 which rotate the pages of one or more PDF files.

pdfjoin, which combines the pages of multiple PDF files together into a single file.

This script works only on one file at a time.

pdfpun, similar to pdfnup but arranges the source pages right-to-left on the output page, ie in a format more suitable for right-to-left languages.

(This was the original motivation: for files that have to be printed, or have to be made available to dozens or hundreds of other people for printing, n-up formatting saves trees!)

pdfnup, which allows one or more PDF files to be 'n-upped' in roughly the way that psnup does for PostScript files.

At present the wrapper scripts distributed in the PDFjam package are: They are probably best thought of as simple templates that can be used for constructing more elaborate wrapper scripts as required. They are simple wrappers for calls to pdfjam, designed to perform some common tasks such as joining or n-upping PDF files or to illustrate other features they are not very elaborate, nor are they extensively tested. This is the core of the package.Īll of the other scripts provided in the PDFjam package are optional extras. PDFjam is a small collection of shell scripts which provide a simple interface to much of the functionality of the excellent pdfpages package (by Andreas Matthias) for pdfLaTeX.
