pdf90

NAME

pdf90 - rotate the pages in PDF files 90 degrees

SYNOPSIS

pdf90 [ --outfile out.pdf ] [ --tidy tidy ] source.pdf

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the pdf90 command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has inline documentation accessible with pdf90 --help.

pdf90 is a program which rotates the pages of one or more PDF files through 90 degrees (anti-clockwise). It depends on a working installation of (pdf)LaTeX.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

--outfile out.pdf

The name of the output file. If none is specified, the program comes up with a file name that is a derivative of the input file name, such as myinfile-rotated.pdf.

--tidy tidy

True or false according to whether or ot temporary files should be deleted immediately. If this is set to false, the temporary files are left in /var/tmp. The default is true.

CONFIGURATION FILES

Configuration of pdf90 involves specifying the location of pdflatex, the location of temporary files, etc. This is done in a block of lines at the top of the pdf90 shell script itself; settings made there are over-ridden by any that are found at a site-wide configuration file (at /etc/pdfnup.conf, /usr/share/etc/pdfnup.conf, /usr/local/share/pdfnup.conf, or /usr/local/etc/pdfnup.conf) which in turn are over-ridden by any that are found in a user-defaults file at ~/.pdfnup.conf.
