NAME
psselect - select pages from a PostScript file
SYNOPSIS
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.
NOTES
The page number given to psselect is the number of the page
counting from the start or end of the file, starting at one.
The actual page number in the document may be different.
