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 fol-
       low 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 rear-
       ranged; the -q option suppresses this.
