NAME
psselect - select pages from a PostScript fileSYNOPSIS
psselect [ -q ] [ -e ] [ -o ] [ -r ] [ -ppages ] [ pages ] [ infile [ outfile ] ]DESCRIPTION
Psselect selects pages from a PostScript document, creating a new PostScript file. The input PostScript file should follow the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions.The -e option selects all of the even pages; it may be used in conjunction with the other page selection options to select the even pages from a range of pages.
The -o option selects all of the odd pages; it may be used in conjunction with the other page selection options.
The
-ppages
option specifies the pages which are to be selected.
Pages
is a comma separated list of page ranges, each of which may be a page number,
or a page range of the form first-last. If first is omitted,
the
first page is assumed, and if last is omitted, the last page is assumed.
The prefix character `_' indicates that the page number is relative to the end
of the document, counting backwards. If just this character with no page
number is used, a blank page will be inserted.
The -r option causes psselect to output the selected pages in reverse order.
Psselect normally prints the page numbers of the pages rearranged; the -q option suppresses this.
If any of the
-r, -e,
or
-o
options are specified, the page range must be given with the
-p
option. This is for backwards compatibility with previous versions.
