Dvitodvi rearranges pages from a DVI file, creating a new DVI file. Dvitodvi can be used to perform a
large number of arbitrary re-arrangements of Documents, including arranging for printing 2-up, 4-up,
booklets, reversing, selecting front or back sides of documents, scaling, etc.
pagespecs follow the syntax:
pagespecs=[modulo:][mag@]specsspecs=spec[+specs][,specs]spec=[-]pageno[(xoff,yoff)]modulo is the number of pages in each block. The value of modulo should be greater than 0; the default
value is 1. The optional mag parameter adjusts the file's magnification by the magnification specified.
The magnification and modulo can be specified in reverse order if desired. specs are the page
specifications for the pages in each block. The value of the pageno in each spec should be between 0 (for
the first page in the block) and modulo-1 (for the last page in each block) inclusive. The optional
dimensions xoff and yoff shift the page by the specified (positive) amount. xoff and yoff are in
PostScript's points, but may be followed by the units cm or in to convert to centimetres or inches, or
the flag w or h to specify as a multiple of the width or height. If the optional minus sign is
specified, the page is relative to the end of the document, instead of the start.
If page specs are separated by + the pages will be merged into one page; if they are separated by , they
will be on separate pages. If there is only one page specification, with pageno zero, the pageno may be
omitted.
The -w option gives the width which is used by the w dimension specifier, and the -h option gives the
height which is used by the h dimension specifier. These dimensions are also used (after scaling) to set
the clipping path for each page.
Dvitodvi normally prints the page numbers of the pages re-arranged; the -q option suppresses this.
