About PSUtils

PSUtils provides commands for selecting and rearranging pages, creating booklet signatures, combining pages for n-up printing, and resizing, flipping, or rotating pages in PDF and PostScript documents.

It is distributed through Linux distributions, Homebrew for macOS, and Cygwin for Windows. The tools expect PostScript files to follow the Document Structuring Conventions, though they do not check this.

Strengths

Selects and rearranges document pages
Makes booklet and n-up layouts
Resizes, flips, and rotates pages

Limitations

Command-line tools
PostScript processing expects DSC-conformant input
