NAME
djvups - Convert DjVu documents to PostScript.
SYNOPSIS
djvups [options] [djvufile] [outputfile]
DESCRIPTION
This program decodes DjVu file djvufile, and generates a PostScript
file named outputfile. The DjVu data is read from the standard input
when argument djvufile is not specified or when it is equal to a single
dash. Similarly, the output data is written to the standard output
when argument outputfile is not specified or equal to a single dash.
PostScript printers have various capabilities. Investigate options
-level and -gray for obtaining the best results.
OPTIONS
-help Prints the list of recognized options.
-verbose
Displays a progress bar.
-page=pagespec
Specify the document pages to be converted. The page specifica-
tion pagespec contains one or more comma-separated page ranges.
A page range is either a page number, or two page numbers sepa-
rated by a dash. Specification 1-10, for instance, prints pages
1 to 10. Specification 1,3,99999-4 prints pages 1 and 3, fol-
lowed by all the document pages in reverse order up to page 4.
-format=ps
Produce a PostScript file. This is the default.
-format=eps
Produce an Encapsulated PostScript file. Encapsulated Post-
Script files are suitable for embedding images into other docu-
ments. Encapsulated PostScript file can only contain a single
page. Setting this option overrides the options -copies, -orien-
tation, -zoom, -cropmarks, and -booklet.
-copies=n
Specify the number of copies to print.
-orientation=orient
Specify whether pages should be printed using the auto, por-
trait, or landscape orientation.
-mode=modespec
Specify how pages should be decoded. The default mode, color,
renders all the layers of the DjVu documents. Mode black only
renders the foreground layer mask. This mode does not work with
DjVuPhoto images because these files have no foreground layer
mask. Modes foreground and background only render the fore-
ground layer or the background layer of a DjVuDocument image.
-zoom=zoomspec
Specify a zoom factor zoomspec. The default zoom factor, auto,
scales the image to fit the page. Argument zoomspec also can be
a number in range 25 to 2400 representing a magnification per-
centage relative to the original size of the document.
-frame=yesno
Specifying yes causes the generation of a thin gray border rep-
resenting the boundaries of the document pages. The default is
no.
-cropmarks=yesno
Specifying yes causes the generation of crop marks indicating
where pages should be cut. The default is no.
-level=languagelevel
Select the language level of the generated PostScript. lan-
guagelevel. Valid language levels are 1, 2, and 3. Level 3
produces the most compact and fast printing PostScript files.
Some of these files however require a very modern printer.
Level 2 is the default value. The generated PostScript files
are almost as compact and work with all but the oldest Post-
Script printers. Level 1 can be used as a last resort option.
-color=yesno
The default value, yes, generates a color PostScript file.
Specifying value no converts the image to gray scale. The
resulting PostScript file is smaller and marginally more porta-
ble.
-gray This option is equivalent to option -color=no and is provided
for convenience.
-colormatch=yesno
The default value, yes, generates a PostScript file using device
independent colors in compliance with the sRGB specification.
Modern printers then produce colors that match the original as
well as possible. Specifying value no generates a PostScript
file using device dependent colors. This is sometimes useful
with older printers. You can then use option -gamma to tune the
output colors.
-gamma=gammaspec
Specify a gamma correction factor for the device dependent Post-
Script colors. Argument gammaspec must be in range 0.3 to 5.0.
Gamma correction normally pertains to cathodic screens only. It
gets meaningful for printers because several models interpret
device dependent RGB colors by emulating the color response of a
cathodic tube.
-booklet=opt
Turns the booklet printing mode on. The booklet mode prints two
pages on each side in a way suitable for making a booklet by
folding the sheets. Option opt can take values no for disabling
the booklet mode, yes for enabling the recto/verso booklet mode,
and recto or verso to print only one side of each sheet.
-bookletmax=max
Specifies the maximal number of pages per booklet. A single
printout might then be composed of several booklets. Argument
max is rounded up to the next multiple of 4. Specifying 0 sets
no maximal number of pages and ensures that the printout will
produce a single booklet. This is the default.
-bookletalign=align
Specifies a positive or negative offset applied to the verso of
each sheet. Argument align is expressed in points (one point is
1/72th of an inch, or 0.352 millimeter) This is useful with cer-
tain printers to ensure that both recto and verso are properly
aligned. The default value is of course 0.
-bookletfold=base[+incr]
Specifies the extra margin left between both pages on a single
sheet. The base value base is expressed in points (one point is
1/72th of an inch, or 0.352 millimeter). This margin is incre-
mented for each outer sheet by value incr expressed in milli-
points. The default value is 18+200.
