- Hi,
-
- Having a tree-saving-desire-day, I was looking for tools to convert lots
- of PostScript to few pages. I know there are tools about to put several
- PS pages on to one. What I want on top of that is a tool which will only
- print out the odd or the even pages, so that I can print double-sided
- (one lot of pages may have to be in reverse, I haven't really figured that
- out yet).
-
- What I have found out, is that the 'showpage' commands may be hidden in
- some nasty subroutines, and knowing nothing about PostScript I gave up at
- that point. Perl seems to be an obvious tool for coping with this problem...
-
- So does anybody out there have a tool like that? Just think of all those
- lovely trees it would save!
