Grid

Grid

Arrange PDF pages or images onto poster-like grid sheets — every output page is a grid of m rows × n columns. Unlike N-Up the sheet size is derived from the grid, which makes grid ideal for browsing overviews.

Command line

pdfcpu2 grid [description] outFile m n inFile | imageFiles...

<description> — defaults "d:595 842, form:A4, o:rd, bo:on, ma:3, enforce:on"; same entries as N-Up (dim:/form:, o: orientation, enforce:, border:, margin:).

pdfcpu2 grid out.pdf 1 10 in.pdf              # 1 row x 10 cols film-strip
pdfcpu2 grid 'p:LegalL' out.pdf 2 2 in.pdf    # 2x2 on Legal landscape
pdfcpu2 grid 'o:rd' out.pdf 3 2 in.pdf        # 3 rows x 2 cols, right-down
pdfcpu2 grid 'd:400 400' out.pdf 8 6 *.jpg    # images into 400x400 cells
