   NAME
     psbook - rearrange pages in PostScript file into signatures

   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 follow the Adobe Document Structuring Con-
     ventions.

     The -s option selects the size of signature which will be used. The sig-
     nature 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 rearranged; the -q
     option suppresses this.
