Examples

You can use pdfnup as a Python module e.g. like in the following interactive Python session:

>>> from pdfnup import generateNup
>>>
>>> generateNup("file.pdf", 8, verbose=True)
written: file-8up.pdf
>>>
>>> generateNup("file.pdf", 8, dirs="LD", verbose=True)
written: file-8up.pdf
>>>
>>> f = open("file.pdf")
>>> generateNup(f, 8, outPathPatternOrFile="out-%(n)dup.pdf", verbose=True)
written: out-8up.pdf

In addition there is a script named pdfnup, which can be used more easily from the system command-line like this (you can see many more examples when typing pdfnup -h on the command-line):

$ pdfnup -V file.pdf
written: file-4up.pdf
$ pdfnup -V -n 8 file.pdf
written: file-8up.pdf
$ pdfnup -V -n 8 -l LD file.pdf
written: file-8up.pdf
$ pdfnup -V -n 9 /path/file[12].pdf
written: /path/file1-9up.pdf
written: /path/file2-9up.pdf
$ pdfnup -V -n 8 -o "%(dirname)s/foo.pdf" /path/file.pdf
written: /path/foo.pdf
