PSUTILS(1)
๐ PSUtils โ a whole manual page, bestie ๐
okay so welcome to PSUTILS(1), the General Commands Manual page for PSUtils, and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, it's giving โจreference materialโจ. no cap, every word here matters, so let's go ๐ซถ
๐ NAME ๐
PSUtils โ PDF and PostScript utilities. that's it, that's the name, she's simple and she knows it ๐
๐ DESCRIPTION ๐
PSUtils is literally a whole set of utilities for manipulating PDF and PostScript documents. that's the entire job. icons only ๐
one thing tho โ PostScript files should follow the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions. should. but it is not checked, bestie. so nobody's out here vibe-checking your file before it goes in ๐ญ it's on you.
no validation, no warnings, no nothing. the utilities are not gonna hold your hand on this one, fr fr.
๐ฆ UNITS OF LENGTH ๐ฆ
the PSUtils utilities accept lengths in various units, and you have options, periodt:
ptโ PostScript points, and it's72 points per inch๐ซmmโ millimetres ๐ธcmโ centimetres ๐inโ inches, and1 inch is 25.4mm๐
how do you actually write one? number first, unit glued right onto it, no space, no drama:
4.5mm
72pt
and if you're out here giving no unit at all? PostScript points are assumed. so 72 is 72pt, lowkey a little mind-reading moment ๐ฎโจ
