名前 (NAME) 💖

auto-multiple-choice-imprime — prints out AMC exam papers so you can literally hand them to the candidates, bestie. Slay.

概要 (SYNOPSIS) ✨

auto-multiple-choice imprime --sujet subject.pdf
                     --fich-nums numbers-file.txt --data data-dir
                     --methode method [where-to-print-arguments...]

DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so the auto-multiple-choice imprime command prints the exam papers you picked. That's the whole vibe.

印刷内容の指定 — picking WHAT to print 🎀

These args decide what actually comes out of the printer:

• --sujet subject.pdf — sets the exam paper file (the one made by auto-multiple-choice-prepare(1), iykyk).
• --fich-nums numbers-file.txt — points at a file listing the exam numbers you wanna print, one per line. No file? Then literally every exam paper gets printed. All of them. Periodt.
• --data data-dir — the directory holding the data files (go see auto-multiple-choice-meptex(1) and friends). The layout database in that data directory is how it knows which pages each exam paper spans — like, page X through page Y. Iconic.
• --split — prints the separate answer sheets separately.
• --answer-first — sorts it so the separate answer sheets come first.

印刷方法の指定 — picking HOW to print 🦋

A few print methods are defined:

• With --methode CUPS, auto-multiple-choice imprime prints to a CUPS printer. It sends one print job per copy so stuff like automatic stapling can happen per exam paper. Use these options with it:
  • --imprimante printer — sets the name of the CUPS printer to print on.
  • --options cups-options — CUPS options, written as opt1=value1,opt2=value2,....
• With --methode file, auto-multiple-choice imprime writes the exam papers to files — one file per copy, no cap.
  • --output filename — sets the output filename. If the sequence %e shows up, it gets swapped for the 4-digit exam number. And if filename does not contain %e, the string -%e.pdf gets tacked on the end. Surprise ending 💅.
• With --methode command, auto-multiple-choice imprime runs the command you specify, once per copy of the exam paper.
  • --print-command command — the command to use for printing. The command string gets split at whitespace characters (yes, even if you used quotes — literally splitting on spaces regardless, so heads up 🙈). The sequence %f is replaced with the PDF filename (the one containing the exam paper to print), and %e is replaced with the exam number.

その他のオプション — the other options ⭐

These are available too:

• --extract-with command — the command used to extract pages from the exam PDF. Right now pdftk, gs or qpdf can be given. Default is pdftk, but if it's not installed then qpdf is used, and then gs in that order. It's giving fallback queen 👑.
