NAME
       psbook - rearrange pages in PostScript file into signatures

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.
