Acorn Front end by Graham Jones


PSUtils is a very comprehensive and powerful suite of PostScript utilities, originally written for the UNIX operating system.

Graham Jones' front end provides a single user interface to six of the major PostScript utilities: PS Nup, PS to PS, PS Book, EPSF Fit, PS Resize, and PS Select.

PS Nup and PS Resize perform similar functions in that they both fit multiple PostScript pages in a single PostScript file onto one or more PostScript pages of user-definable size.

PS to PS allows the user to rearrange the page order in a PostScript document.

PS Book rearranges pages in a PostScript document into what are called signatures for printing books or booklets. The signature size is the number of sides in the book which will be folded and bound together.

PS Book will also add additional blank sides if the PostScript document does not contain a multiple of four pages.

EPSF Fit can be used to fit an Encapsulated PostScript file into a given bounding box, for use, for example, with ArtWorks.

PS Select can be used to extract individual PostScript pages from a PostScript document.
