DVIBOOK(1) General Commands Manual DVIBOOK(1) NAME dvibook - rearrange pages in DVI file into signatures SYNOPSIS dvibook [ -q ] [ -s<num> ] [ -r ] [ -i infile ] [ -o outfile ] [ infile [ outfile ] ] DESCRIPTION Dvibook rearranges pages from a DVI file produced by TeX into ``signa- tures'' for printing books or booklets, creating a new DVI file usable by any of the TeX conversion programs. The -s option selects the size of signature which will be used. The signature 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. By default, dvibook rearranges the pages into left-hand side binding signatures; the -r option switches to right-hand side binding signa- tures. This might be useful for pTeX vertical writing (tate-kumi) docu- ments. Dvibook normally prints the page numbers of the pages rearranged; the -q option suppresses this.
