NAME

       djvups - Convert DjVu documents to PostScript.

SYNOPSIS

       djvups  [options] [djvufile] [outputfile]

DESCRIPTION

       This program decodes DjVu file djvufile, and generates a PostScript file named outputfile.  The DjVu data
       is  read  from the standard input when argument djvufile is not specified or when it is equal to a single
       dash.  Similarly, the output data is written to the standard  output  when  argument  outputfile  is  not
       specified or equal to a single dash.

       PostScript  printers  have  various capabilities.  Investigate options -level and -gray for obtaining the
       best results.

OPTIONS

       -help  Prints the list of recognized options.

       -verbose
              Displays a progress bar.

       -page=pagespec
              Specify the document pages to be converted.  The page specification pagespec contains one or  more
              comma-separated  page ranges.  A page range is either a page number, or two page numbers separated
              by a dash.  Specification 1-10, for instance, prints pages 1  to  10.   Specification  1,3,99999-4
              prints pages 1 and 3, followed by all the document pages in reverse order up to page 4.

       -format=ps
              Produce a PostScript file.  This is the default.

       -format=eps
              Produce an Encapsulated PostScript file.  Encapsulated PostScript files are suitable for embedding
              images into other documents.  Encapsulated PostScript file can only contain a single page. Setting
              this option overrides the options -copies, -orientation, -zoom, -cropmarks, and -booklet.

       -copies=n
              Specify the number of copies to print.

       -orientation=orient
              Specify whether pages should be printed using the auto, portrait, or landscape orientation.

       -mode=modespec
              Specify  how pages should be decoded.  The default mode, color, renders all the layers of the DjVu
              documents.  Mode black only renders the foreground layer mask.   This  mode  does  not  work  with
              DjVuPhoto  images  because  these  files  have  no  foreground  layer  mask.  Modes foreground and
              background only render the foreground layer or the background layer of a DjVuDocument image.

       -zoom=zoomspec
              Specify a zoom factor zoomspec.  The default zoom factor, auto, scales the image to fit the  page.
              Argument zoomspec also can be a number in range 25 to 2400 representing a magnification percentage
              relative to the original size of the document.

       -frame=yesno
              Specifying  yes  causes  the  generation  of a thin gray border representing the boundaries of the
              document pages.  The default is no.

       -cropmarks=yesno
              Specifying yes causes the generation of crop marks indicating where  pages  should  be  cut.   The
              default is no.

       -level=languagelevel
              Select  the language level of the generated PostScript.  languagelevel.  Valid language levels are
              1, 2, and 3.  Level 3 produces the most compact and fast printing PostScript files.  Some of these
              files however require a very modern printer.   Level  2  is  the  default  value.   The  generated
              PostScript  files  are  almost  as  compact  and work with all but the oldest PostScript printers.
              Level 1 can be used as a last resort option.

       -color=yesno
              The default value, yes, generates a color PostScript file.  Specifying value no converts the image
              to gray scale.  The resulting PostScript file is smaller and marginally more portable.

       -gray  This option is equivalent to option -color=no and is provided for convenience.

       -colormatch=yesno
              The default value, yes, generates a PostScript file using device independent colors in  compliance
              with  the sRGB specification.  Modern printers then produce colors that match the original as well
              as possible.  Specifying value no generates a PostScript file using device dependent colors.  This
              is sometimes useful with older printers.  You can then  use  option  -gamma  to  tune  the  output
              colors.

       -gamma=gammaspec
              Specify  a gamma correction factor for the device dependent PostScript colors.  Argument gammaspec
              must be in range 0.3 to 5.0.  Gamma correction normally pertains to  cathodic  screens  only.   It
              gets  meaningful  for  printers  because  several  models interpret device dependent RGB colors by
              emulating the color response of a cathodic tube.

       -booklet=opt
              Turns the booklet printing mode on.  The booklet mode prints two pages  on  each  side  in  a  way
              suitable  for  making a booklet by folding the sheets. Option opt can take values no for disabling
              the booklet mode, yes for enabling the recto/verso booklet mode, and recto or verso to print  only
              one side of each sheet.

       -bookletmax=max
              Specifies  the  maximal  number of pages per booklet.  A single printout might then be composed of
              several booklets. Argument max is rounded up to the next multiple of  4.   Specifying  0  sets  no
              maximal  number of pages and ensures that the printout will produce a single booklet.  This is the
              default.

       -bookletalign=align
              Specifies a positive or negative offset applied  to the verso of each sheet.   Argument  align  is
              expressed  in  points  (one  point  is 1/72th of an inch, or 0.352 millimeter) This is useful with
              certain printers to ensure that both recto and verso are properly aligned.  The default  value  is
              of course 0.

       -bookletfold=base[+incr]
              Specifies  the  extra  margin  left  between both pages on a single sheet.  The base value base is
              expressed in points (one point is 1/72th  of  an  inch,  or  0.352  millimeter).  This  margin  is
              incremented  for  each  outer  sheet  by value incr expressed in millipoints. The default value is
              18+200.
