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.
