PDF Half page splitting
Jeudi, février 26th, 2009I’ve found this interresting script digging around. As I’ve a lot of old book got scanned 2 / 1 pages and I don’t found then easy to read on my portable device I think this could be useful.
#!/bin/bash
#script: unpnup
# This script reformats pdf files where two portait pages
# are joined on one landscape page (like pnup does). After
# completion each page is on one single fullframe page
