NAME

       psorder - PostScript pageorder filter

SYNOPSIS

       psorder [-duf] sourcefile

DESCRIPTION

       psorder  is a filter that re-orders the pages of a PostScript document.
       The result is written to the standard output. By default, documents are
       processed  into  ascending  order  (the lowest numbered page is printed
       first). Some PostScript documents specify that the order of their pages
       should  never  be  changed;  the default action of psorder is to follow
       this specification.

       If no source file is given, or if sourcefile is ‘-’, psorder reads from
       the standard input file.

OPTIONS

       -d     Re-order  the  pages  of  the document in downward or descending
              order. This is typically used to change the order of a  document
              to be printed by a printer that stacks pages face-up, such as an
              Apple LaserWriter or LaserWriter Plus.

       -u     Specifies forward order, and is the default. It is used  to  try
              and  ensure the correct ordering when a document will be printed
              by a printer that stacks the pages face-down.

       -f     Force psorder to re-order the pages, even if the document claims
              that  its  page  order  is  not  to be trifled with. This option
              should only be used experimentally, as it may cause documents to
              print incorrectly.
