NAME
       pdfunp - n-up the pages of pdf files

SYNOPSIS
       pdfnup [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]...


DESCRIPTION
       pdfnup  converts  files  in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) to
       "n-up" PDF files, that is, with multiple reduced-size input  pages  per
       output page, for more economical printing etc.

       pdfnup is a front end to some of the capabilities of the pdfpages pack-
       age for pdflatex.  A working installation of pdflatex with the pdfpages
       package is required.

       pdfnup  is  part of the "PDFjam" package of tools, whose homepage is at
       http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam.


SETUP
       See http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam, or the file  PDFjam-readme.html
       included with the PDFjam package.


USAGE
       For the available options and local/user defaults, see the output of

                  pdfnup --help

       For   further   information   and  some  examples  see  http://www.war-
       wick.ac.uk/go/pdfjam or the file PDFjam-readme.html included  with  the
       PDFjam package.


CONFIGURATION FILES
       Configuration  of  pdfnup involves specifying the location of pdflatex,
       the location of temporary files, specification of  default  page  size,
       etc.   This  is done in a block of lines at the top of the pdfnup 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.


LIMITATIONS AND BUGS
       pdfnup does not work with encrypted PDF files, and  does  not  preserve
       hyperlinks.

       Please report bugs! See the website at http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/pdf-
