psmerge(1)

psmerge1

Filter to merge several postscript files into one

Usage

psmerge [-oout.ps] file.ps ...

Overview

Psmerge uses Ghostscript to merge PostScript documents into a single document. It only works in the specific case the the files were created using the same application, with the same device setup and resources (fonts, procsets, patterns, files, etc) loaded.

If the -o option is used, output will be sent to the file named, otherwise it will go to standard output.

Psmerge will merge multiple files concatenated into a single file as if they were in separate files.

Trademarks

Bugs

psmerge is for a very specific case; it does not merge files in the general case.
