Overview
The auto-multiple-choice imprime command prints selected copies from a AMC multiple choice answer sheet.
What to print
The following arguments describe what to print:
-
--sujet subject.pdf -
sets the subject file (prepared by auto-multiple-choice-prepare(1)).
-
--fich-nums numbers-file.txt -
gives a file where the numbers of the copies to be printed are written (one number per line). If this argument is not given, all the copies will be printed.
-
--data data-dir -
gives the directory where data files are (see for example auto-multiple-choice-meptex(1)). The layout database in the data directory is used to know at which page of the subject file each copy begins and ends.
-
--split -
asks to print separate answer sheets separately.
-
--answer-first -
asks to reorder the pages of each copy to get the separate answer sheet first.
Where to print
Several printing methods are currently defined:
• with "--methode CUPS", auto-multiple-choice imprime prints to a CUPS printer. One print job is sent for each copy, allowing for example to use stapling. Use the following options with this method:
-
--imprimante printer -
sets the CUPS printer name to print to.
-
--options cups-options -
gives CUPS options, in the
opt1=value1,opt2=value2,...format.
• with "--methode file", auto-multiple-choice imprime outputs the answer sheets to files (one for each copy).
-
--output filename -
sets the filename for outputs. The '%e' sequence will be replaced by a 4-digits copy number. If filename does not contain '%e', the string '-%e.pdf' will be added at its end.
• with "--methode command", auto-multiple-choice imprime will use a provided command for each copy.
-
--print-command command -
gives the command to be used for printing. The command string will be split at each space character (even when using quotes...). The sequence '%f' will be replaced by a PDF filename (containing the copy to print), and '%e' will be replaced by the copy number.
Other options
Other available options:
-
--extract-with command -
gives the command to use to extract pages from the PDF subject. Currently,
pdftk,gsandqpdfare available. The default value ispdftk, butqpdfand thengswill be used if thepdftkcommand is not installed.
