8 Examples
9 --------
10
11 With the default paper size being A4, ``pdfautonup`` on:
12
13 - `trigo.pdf <https://framagit.org/spalax/pdfautonup/-/raw/main/examples/trigo.pdf?inline=false>`_ gives `trigo-nup.pdf <https://framagit.org/spalax/pdfautonup/-/raw/main/examples/trigo-nup.pdf?inline=false>`_
14 - `pcb.pdf <https://framagit.org/spalax/pdfautonup/-/raw/main/examples/pcb.pdf?inline=false>`_ gives `pcb-nup.pdf <https://framagit.org/spalax/pdfautonup/-/raw/main/examples/pcb-nup.pdf?inline=false>`_
15 - `three-pages.pdf <https://framagit.org/spalax/pdfautonup/-/raw/main/examples/three-pages.pdf?inline=false>`_ gives `three-pages-nup.pdf <https://framagit.org/spalax/pdfautonup/-/raw/main/examples/three-pages-nup.pdf?inline=false>`_

24 Download and install
25 --------------------
26
27 See the end of list for a (quick and dirty) Debian package.
28
29 * From sources:
30
31 * Download: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pdfautonup
32 * Install (in a `virtualenv`, if you do not want to mess with your distribution installation system)::
33
34 python3 setup.py install
35
36 * From pip::
37
38 pip install pdfautonup
39
40 Note: If `PyMuPDF <https://github.com/pymupdf/PyMuPDF>`_ can be installed, you can use::
41
42 pip install pdfautonup[pymupdf]
43
44 This will change the python library used to read and write PDF files (`PyMuPDF <https://github.com/pymupdf/PyMuPDF>`_ instead of `PyPDF <https://pypi.org/project/pypdf/>`_), to make pdfautonup faster.
45
46 * Quick and dirty Debian (and Ubuntu?) package
47
48 This requires `stdeb <https://github.com/astraw/stdeb>`_ (and `setuptools-scm <https://pypi.org/project/setuptools-scm/>`_) to be installed::
49
50 python3 setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb
51 sudo dpkg -i deb_dist/pdfautonup-<VERSION>_all.deb
52

55
56 * The compiled documentation is available on `readthedocs <http://pdfautonup.readthedocs.io>`_
57
