pdfautonup 1.8.1

Convert PDF files to 'n-up' PDF files, guessing the output layout.

Fit as much pages as possible, from some PDF files to a ‘n-up’ PDF file of a given page size, guessing the layout.

Examples

With the default paper size being A4, pdfautonup on:

• trigo.pdf gives trigo-nup.pdf

• pcb.pdf gives pcb-nup.pdf

• three-pages.pdf gives three-pages-nup.pdf

See the documentation for the full command lines used to generate those examples.

Download and install

See the end of list for a (quick and dirty) Debian package.

• From sources:

  • Download: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pdfautonup

  • Install (in a virtualenv, if you do not want to mess with your distribution installation system):

    python3 setup.py install

• From pip:

  pip install pdfautonup

  Note: If PyMuPDF can be installed, you can use:

  pip install pdfautonup[pymupdf]

  This will change the python library used to read and write PDF files (PyMuPDF instead of PyPDF), to make pdfautonup faster.

• Quick and dirty Debian (and Ubuntu?) package

  This requires stdeb (and setuptools-scm) to be installed:

  python3 setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb
  sudo dpkg -i deb_dist/pdfautonup-<VERSION>_all.deb
