PSRESIZE(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

this is psresize(1), from the General Commands Manual. psresize — rescales and centers a document for a new output paper size. it's giving "fit check, but for paper" energy. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

psresize [-wwidth] [-hheight] [-ppaper] [-Wwidth] [-Hheight] [-Ppaper]
[-q] [infile [outfile]]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so psresize rescales and centres a document onto a different size of paper. the input PostScript file should follow the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions. yes, DSC. it's a whole vibe. 📄✨

The -w option gives the output paper width, and the -h option gives the output paper height. you normally specify these in cm or in so PostScript's points (1/72 of an inch) get converted to centimeters or inches. The -p option can be used instead to set the paper size; otherwise a default value is used. See paper(1). 🫶

The -W option gives the input paper width, and the -H option gives the input paper height. The -P option can be used instead to set the paper size; otherwise a default value is used. See paper(1). 💖

psresize normally prints the page numbers of the pages output; the -q option suppresses this. quiet mode, no page-number yapping. 🤫

The flags, bestie:

• -w width — sets the output paper width. usually you put cm or in on it, converting PostScript's points (1/72 of an inch) to centimeters or inches. 📏
• -h height — sets the output paper height. same unit situation: cm or in, bestie. 📐
• -p paper — sets the output paper size instead of using -w and -h. if you don't use it, a default value is used. See paper(1). 🎀
• -W width — sets the input paper width. 📥
• -H height — sets the input paper height. 📥
• -P paper — sets the input paper size instead of using -W and -H. if you don't use it, a default value is used. See paper(1). 🎀
• -q — suppresses the normal page-number output. silent mode. 🤐
