I continue to make them available in a separate repository, in case anyone wants to see them, to use them, or to improve and maintain them independently as a separate project. Those 'wrapper' scripts are no longer maintained. They are probably best viewed as simple templates that can be used for constructing more elaborate wrapper scripts as required.

Those other scripts are simple wrappers for calls to pdfjam, designed to perform some common tasks such as joining or n-upping PDF files or to illustrate other features they are not very elaborate, and nor are they extensively tested. Previous versions of pdfjam (before 3.02) included some other scripts too, in addition to the pdfjam script iteslf. It comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY of fitness for any purpose whatever.

The pdfjam software is made available free, under GPL version 2 (see the file named COPYING that is included with the package). Those alternatives do much the same things as pdfjam, and maybe quite a bit more too. Yet another alternative set of tools is PDFsam. It seems that it will work also on Windows computers with a suitable installation of Cygwin (with T eX Live installed), but this has not been thoroughly tested.Īn alternative set of PDF manipulation tools, which are java-based, is provided by the Multivalent project. Pdfjam is designed for Unix-like systems, including Linux and Mac OS X. On the positive side, there is no appreciable degradation of image quality in processing PDF files with pdfjam, unlike some other indirect methods such as pdf2ps|psnup|ps2pdf (in the author's experience). It is useful for joining files together, selecting pages, reducing several source pages onto one output page, etc., etc.Ī potential drawback of pdfjam and other scripts based upon it is that any hyperlinks in the source PDF are lost.

The pdfjam script takes one or more PDF files (and/or JPG/PNG graphics files) as input, and produces one or more PDF files as output. The pdfjam package makes available the pdfjam shell script that provides a simple interface to much of the functionality of the excellent pdfpages package (by Andreas Matthias) for L aT eX.
