+## HELP TEXT
+##
+## Defines the output of 'pdfjam --help'
+##
+helptext="
+pdfjam is a shell-script front end to the LaTeX 'pdfpages' package (for
+which, see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages).
+
+Usage: pdfjam [OPTIONS] [--] [FILE1 [SEL1]] [FILE2 [SEL2]]...
+where
+* 'FILE1' etc. are PDF files. For input from /dev/stdin, use the special name
+ '/dev/stdin' in place of any of FILE1, FILE2, etc: this can be mixed with
+ 'real' files as needed, to allow PDF data to be input through a pipe (note
+ that if /dev/stdin is connected to tty, an error results). If 'FILE1' is
+ absent, pdfjam will use '/dev/stdin' (and will use '-' for the page
+ selection -- see next item).
+* 'SEL1' is a page selection for FILE1, etc.
+ To select all pages (the default) use '-'. See the pdfpages manual for
+ more details. An example:
+ ... file1 '{},2,4-5,9-' ...
+ makes an empty page, followed by pages 2,4,5,6 of file1, followed by pages
+ 9 onwards (up to the end of file1).
+ A page selection can be applied to more than one file, e.g.,
+ ... file1 file2 file3 1-7 ...
+ applies page selection '1-7' to all three files; but for example
+ ... file1 file2 2- file3 1-7 ...
+ would apply the page selection '2-' to file1 and file2, and '1-7'
+ to file3. A page selection applies to all the files *immediately*
+ preceding it in the argument list. A missing page selection defaults to
+ '-'; this includes the case where 'FILE1' is absent and so /dev/stdin gets
+ used by default.
+* 'options' are pdfpages specifications in the form '--KEY VALUE' (see
+ below), or
+ --help (or -h, or -u)
+ Output this text only; no processing of PDF files.
+ --configpath
+ Output the 'configpath' variable and exit immediately; no
+ processing of PDF files.
+ --version (or -V)
+ Output the version number of pdfjam and exit immediately; no
+ processing of PDF files.
+ --quiet (or -q)
+ Suppress verbose commentary on progress.
+ --batch
+ Run pdfjam sequentially on each input file in turn, and
+ produce a separate output file for each input, rather
+ than the default behaviour (which is a single run of
+ pdfjam on all of the input files, producing a single
+ output document). For the location of output
+ files, see '--outfile'. The --batch option cannot be
+ used in the case of input fron stdin.
+ --outfile PATH (or -o PATH)
+ Specifies where the output file(s) will go. If PATH is an
+ existing directory, pdfjam will attempt to write its
+ output PDF file(s) there, with name(s) derived from the
+ input file name(s) and the --suffix option (see below).
+ Otherwise the output file will be PATH. If '/dev/stdin'
+ is the only or last input file, PATH cannot be a directory.
+ Your current default PATH for output is:
+ $outFile
+ --suffix STRING
+ Specifies a suffix for output file names, to be used when
+ --outfile is either (a) a directory, or
+ (b) not specified in a --batch call.
+ A good STRING should be descriptive: for example,
+ --suffix 'rotated'
+ would append the text '-rotated' to the name of the input
+ file in order to make the output file name, as in
+ 'myfile-rotated.pdf'. The STRING must not have zero
+ length.
+ [Default for you at this site: suffix=$suffix]
+ --checkfiles
+ --no-checkfiles
+ If the Unix 'file' utility is available, with options
+ -L and -b, the output of 'file -Lb FILE1' should be
+ 'PDF document...' where '...' gives version information.
+ If this is the case on your system you should use
+ '--checkfiles'; otherwise use '--no-checkfiles',
+ in which case all input PDF files must have .pdf or .PDF
+ as their name extension.
+ [Default for you at this site: checkfiles=$checkfiles]
+ --preamble STRING
+ Append the supplied STRING to the preamble of the LaTeX
+ source file(s), immediately before the '\begin{document}'
+ line. An example:
+ pdfjam --nup 2x2 myfile.pdf -o myfile-4up.pdf \\
+ --preamble '\usepackage{fancyhdr} \pagestyle{fancy}'
+ The '--preamble' option can be used, for example, to load
+ LaTeX packages and/or to set global options. If '--preamble'
+ is used more than once in the call, the supplied preamble
+ strings are simply concatenated.
+ --keepinfo
+ --no-keepinfo
+ Preserve (or not) Title, Author, Subject and Keywords
+ (from the last input PDF file, if more than one) in the
+ output PDF file. This requires the pdfinfo utility, from
+ the xpdf package, and the LaTeX 'hyperref' package; if
+ either of those is not available, '--keepinfo' is ignored.
+ [Default for you at this site: keepinfo=$keepinfo]
+ --pdftitle STRING
+ --pdfauthor STRING
+ --pdfsubject STRING
+ --pdfkeywords STRING
+ Provide text for the Title, Author, Subject and Keywords
+ in the output PDF file. Requires the LaTeX 'hyperref'
+ package. These options, individually, over-ride --keepinfo.
+ --landscape
+ --no-landscape
+ Specify landscape page orientation (or not) in the
+ output PDF file.
+ [Default for you at this site: landscape=$landscape]
+ --twoside
+ --no-twoside
+ Specify (or not) the 'twoside' document class option.
+ [Default for you at this site: twoside=$twoside]
+ --paper PAPERSPEC (or simply --PAPERSPEC)
+ Specify a LaTeX paper size, for example
+ '--paper a4paper' or simply '--a4paper' for ISO A4 paper.
+ If the LaTeX 'geometry' package is installed, a wider range
+ of paper sizes is available. For details see documentation
+ for LaTeX and/or the 'geometry' package.
+ [Default for you at this site: paper=$paper]
+ --papersize '{WIDTH,HEIGHT}'
+ Specify a custom paper size, e.g.,
+ --papersize '{10in,18cm}'
+ (Note the braces, and the comma!)
+ If the 'geometry' package is not found, this has no effect.
+ --pagecolor RGBSPEC
+ Specify a background colour for the output pages. The
+ RGBSPEC must be a comma-separated trio of integers
+ between 0 and 255. An example:
+ --pagecolor 150,200,150
+ [Default is no background colour]
+ --tidy
+ --no-tidy
+ Specify whether the temporary directory created by
+ pdfjam should be deleted. Use '--no-tidy' to help debug
+ most errors.
+ [Default for you at this site: tidy=$tidy]
+ --vanilla
+ Suppress the reading of any site-wide or user-specific
+ configuration files.
+ --KEY VALUE
+ Specify options to '\includepdfmerge', in the LaTeX
+ 'pdfpages' package. Here KEY is the name of any of the
+ many options for '\includepdfmerge', and VALUE is a
+ corresponding value. Examples are
+ --nup 2x1 (for 2-up side-by-side imposition)
+ --scale 0.7 (to scale all input pages to 70% size)
+ --offset '1cm 0.5cm'
+ (to offset all pages -- note the quotes!)
+ --frame true (to put a frame round each input page)
+ --trim '1cm 2cm 1cm 2cm' --clip true
+ (to trim those amounts from left, bottom,
+ right and top, respectively, of input
+ pages)
+ etc., etc. For more information see the manual for
+ the 'pdfpages' package, at
+ http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages
+* '--' can be used to signal that there are no more options to come.
+
+Defaults for the options '--suffix', '--keepinfo', '--paper', '--outfile',
+'--landscape', '--twoside', '--tidy', '--checkfiles' and '--preamble' can be
+set in site-wide or user-specific configuration files. The path that is
+searched for site-wide configuration files (named pdfjam.conf) at this
+installation is
+ $configpath
+This configuration path can be changed by editing the pdfjam script if
+necessary. Any user-specific configuration should be put in a file named
+.pdfjam.conf in your home directory. (All of these files are ignored
+if the '--vanilla' argument is used.)
+
+For more information, including an example configuration file, see
+http://go.warwick.ac.uk/pdfjam.

+ 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. The main script is named "pdfjam". This is the core of the package. All of the other scripts provided in the PDFjam package are optional extras. 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. They are probably best thought of as simple templates that can be used for constructing more elaborate wrapper scripts as required. At present the wrapper scripts distributed in the PDFjam package are:
-In every case, source files are left unchanged.
+ A potential drawback of pdfjam and other scripts based upon it is that any hyperlinks in the source PDF are lost. 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). These tools are designed for Unix-like systems, including Linux and Mac OS X. 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. An alternative set of PDF manipulation tools, which are java-based, is provided by the Multivalent project. They do much the same things as pdfjam, and quite a bit more. Hyperlinks don't seem to be preserved there either, though, when n-upping a document. For Mac OS X, n-up with a more visual interface is provided by PDF Nup Maker. Like pdfjam, this is a front end to pdflatex/pdfpages. The PDFjam software is made available free, under GPL version 2 (see the file named COPYING that is included with the package). It comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY of fitness for any purpose whatever.

-[Better than the rather indirect approach taken here would
-be filters that work directly on the PDF code, to produce output files with hyperlinks intact.]

-
-These tools are designed for Unix-like systems, including Mac OS X. I am told that
-pdfnup works fine also on Windows computers with MikTeX
-and the cygwin unix tools; I know of no reason
-why pdfjoin and pdf90 should not also work in that way.

- Some of the options offered by pdfjam also require the LaTeX packages geometry and hyperref. The primary documentation for pdfjam, and hence for the other scripts that call it, is obtained by This gives information on the arguments to pdfjam, and the default settings that apply at your installation. 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. In addition, each of the scripts has a (rather basic) man page. For example, gives information about usage and other aspects of the pdfjam-pocketmod script. PDFjam is a project at freshmeat: please subscribe there to receive update announcements. Download the shell scripts as pdfjam_latest.tgz. (If for some reason you don't want the latest version, you can still get older versions. Since version 2.00 the URLs are all of the form http://go.warwick.ac.uk/pdfjam/pdfjam_VN.tgz, with "VN" representing the version number. So "VN" could be 2.00, 2.01, 2.02, 2.03 or 2.04; from PDFjam version 2.05 onwards, the dot will be omitted from the file name, so "VN" will be 205, 206, etc.) Various people have kindly packaged PDFjam for distribution in other ways (and perhaps there are some not listed here?): To download some stand-alone Mac OS X droplets (based on PDFjam version 1.21), see below. Download the shell scripts
-as pdfjam_1.20.tgz.
- The shell scripts in the bin sub-directory of the package should be placed on the PATH of anyone who needs to use them.
-Bernhard Walle has kindly made available an RPM package for Linux.
- The man files in the man1 sub-directory should be installed on the MANPATH of all who need to read them.
-For Mac OS X droplets, see below.
- On many unix-like systems the scripts should run without any further configuration, provided that the pre-requisite TeX installation is present. If you want to check (e.g., prior to installation) that pdfjam will work on your system, please unzip the tests sub-directory of the package and follow the instructions that appear in tests/README-tests.txt.
-PDFjam is a project at freshmeat: please subscribe there to receive update announcements.
+ If configuration is needed, this can be done through a site-wide or user-specific configuration file. This might be necessary if, for example, your site has a non-standard TeX installation, or a non-standard location for temporary files, or a paper size that is different from the A4 international standard. The file pdfjam.conf is a sample configuration file which can be edited as needed. After editing, either install the file for site-wide use (at /etc/pdfjam.conf, /usr/share/etc/pdfjam.conf, /usr/local/share/pdfjam.conf, or /usr/local/etc/pdfjam.conf) or as a user-defaults file at ~/.pdfjam.conf. User settings made at ~/.pdfjam.conf override corresponding settings made in a site-wide configuration file.
-Look at the small block of lines flagged CONFIGURATION in each of the scripts.
-The main requirement is to provide the correct path to pdflatex
-on your system. If pdflatex is in your search path (as it ought to be),
-no change should be needed. Also set here are defaults for paper size etc. These settings can
-be changed by editing the scripts themselves, or (better) by putting them in
-a site-configuration file (at /etc/pdfnup.conf,
- /usr/share/etc/pdfnup.conf,
- /usr/local/share/pdfnup.conf, or
- /usr/local/etc/pdfnup.conf) and/or a user-defaults
-file ~/.pdfnup.conf to be read in that order when any of pdfnup, pdfjoin or pdf90
-runs (if present these configuration files will override corresponding settings found in the
-scripts themselves).
- For example, if you want your own output to be on "US letter" size paper by default, simply put the line
-Make sure that the scripts are executable by all who might need to
-execute it. If they are to be available to all users on your system, perhaps move
-them to /usr/local/bin (or make symbolic links to them there). The
-man pages should be installed on the MANPATH of all who need to read
-them.
- in a plain text file named file .pdfnup.conf in your home directory. (The code word letterpaper is how LaTeX refers to that particular page size; for other available paper sizes, please see the output of pdfjam --help.) On some systems it might even be necessary to change the list of places (i.e., /etc/pdfjam.conf and others as listed above) that is searched for site-wide configuration files. This can only be done by editing the pdfjam script itself. To see which directories on your system are searched for a file named pdfjam.conf, use
-Once the scripts are installed, help on usage can be obtained by
For a full overview of what pdfjam can do, the importance of the pdfpages manual cannot be stressed enough! The following examples merely serve as a brief introduction. Consider converting each of two documents to a side-by-side "2-up" format. Since we want the two documents to be processed separately, we'll use the --batch option: This will produce new files file1-2up.pdf and file2-2up.pdf in the current working directory. The above call could be shortened a bit, by using pdfnup, to

- pdfnup mywork/wasteful.pdf --nup 2x2 + pdfjam file1.pdf '{},2-' file2.pdf '10,3-6' --outfile ../myNewFile.pdf-will produce a new 4-up file wasteful-2x2.pdf in directory mywork , and +
The new file myNewFile.pdf, in the parent directory of the current one, contains an empty page, followed by all pages of file1.pdf except the first, followed by pages 10, 3, 4, 5 and 6 from file2.pdf.
+ +The resulting PDF page size will be whatever is the default paper size for you at your site. If instead you want to preserve the page size of (the first included page from) file1.pdf, use the option --fitpaper true: this is the default action of the pdfjoin convenience script.
+ +(All pages in an output file from pdfjam will have the same size and orientation: for joining together PDF files while preserving different page sizes and orientations, pdfjam is not the tool to use; and since pdfjoin simply calls pdfjam, the same comment applies also to pdfjoin. I'm told that if you have Ghostscript installed, something along these lines might more nicely join files with different page sizes and orientations:
+- pdfnup mywork/wasteful.pdf --nup 2x1 --outfile mywork2/halfthewaste.pdf + gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=finished.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf-produces a 2-up file halfthewaste.pdf in directory mywork2. -The source pdf file wasteful.pdf is left unchanged. - +
But I haven't tried it.)
+ +To make a portrait-oriented 4-up file from the pages of three input files, with a thin-line frame around the input pages,
-
- pdfnup file1.pdf file2.pdf --frame true --nup 2x2 + pdfjam file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf --no-landscape --frame true --nup 2x2 \ + --suffix 4up --outfile ~/Documents-makes new files file1-2x2.pdf and file2-2x2.pdf in the current directory, with -a border printed around the 4 input pages on each output page. - +
Here a directory was specified at --outfile: the resultant file in this case will be ~/Documents/file3-4up.pdf. (Note that if there's a writeable file with that name already, it will be overwritten: no check is made, and no warning given.)
--Other options to pdfnup include --pages, --paper, --orient, ---trim, --delta, --offset, --scale and --openright. +
Suppose we have a document made up of "US letter" size pages, and we want to convert it to A4:
--For pdfjoin,
- pdfjoin file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf --fitpaper true + pdfjam 'my US letter file.pdf' --a4paper --outfile 'my A4 file.pdf'-produces a new file file3-joined.pdf in the current directory, with all -pages included at their original sizes. +
A useful application of pdfjam is for producing a handout from a file of presentation slides. For slides made with the standard 4:3 aspect ratio a nice 6-up handout on A4 paper can be made by
+- pdfjoin file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf --fitpaper false --paper a4paper --outfile ~/docs/mybigfile.pdf + pdfjam --nup 2x3 --frame true --noautoscale false --delta "0.2cm 0.3cm" \ + --scale 0.95 myslides.pdf --outfile myhandout.pdf-scales all of the pages to fit on A4-size paper, and makes the resultant file as ~/docs/mybigfile.pdf . +
The --delta option here comes from the pdfpages package; the --scale option is passed to LaTeX's \includegraphics command.
+ +The two wrapper scripts pdfjam-slides6up and pdfjam-slides3up are provided in order to make this particular application of pdfjam easy: for example,
--One possible use for pdfjoin, then, is to change the paper size of a PDF file, for example
- pdfjoin USletterfile.pdf --paper a4paper --fitpaper false --outfile USletterfile-A4size.pdf + pdfjam-slides3up --pagenumbering true --batch slides1.pdf slides2.pdf- +
makes a pair of 3-up handouts slides1-3up.pdf and slides2-3up.pdf, with space for side-notes and with the handout pages numbered.
--Other options to pdfjoin include --trim and --offset. -The output -filename and location are determined by the last input file if ---outfile is not specified. -
+(Slides made by LaTeX's beamer package, using the handout class option, work especially nicely with this!)
+ +Suppose we want to trim the pages of our input file prior to n-upping. This can be done by using a pipe:
--For pdf90,
- pdf90 file1.pdf --outfile stuff/myrotatedfile.pdf --rotates all pages and puts the result in myrotatedfile.pdf in subdirectory stuff of the current directory, while + pdfjam myfile.pdf --trim '1cm 2cm 1cm 2cm' --clip true --outfile /dev/stdout | \ + pdfnup --frame true --outfile myoutput.pdf + +
The --trim option specifies an amount to trim from the left, bottom, right and top sides respectively; to work as intended here it needs also --clip true. These (i.e., trim and clip) are in fact options to LaTeX's \includegraphics command (in the standard graphics package).
+ +(Thanks to Christophe Lange and Christian Lohmaier for suggesting an example on this.)
+ +To offset the content of double-sided printed pages so that they are suitable for binding with a Heftstreifen, use the --twoside option:
+- pdf90 file1.pdf file2.pdf + pdfjam --twoside myfile.pdf --offset '1cm 0cm' --suffix 'offset'-makes new files file1-rotated.pdf and file2-rotated.pdf in the current directory. pdf90 retains original page sizes in the output file. - +
To use PDF input files whose names do not end in ".pdf", you will need to use the --checkfiles option. This depends on the availability of the file utility, with support for the options -Lb; this can be checked by trying
- -+ file -Lb 'my PDF file' ++
where 'my PDF file' is the name of a PDF file on your system. The result should be something like "PDF document, version 1.4" (possibly with a different version number).
-Under Mac OS X, DropScript -can be used to make simple drag-and-drop applications from these scripts. -Some sample droplets are provided in -pdfdroplets_1.20.tgz: -these may be all you'll need! The sample droplets look like this: -With "file -Lb" available, we can use PDF files whose names lack the usual ".pdf" extension. For example,
+ ++ pdfnup --checkfiles 'my PDF file' ++
should result in a file named "my PDF file-nup.pdf" in the current working directory.
