hi, i am trying to print two separate 1-page ps files so that they appear both at 50% side-by-side on one page.
just concatenating the files doesn't work
cat file1.ps file2.ps | a2ps -o- | gv -
only displays the first page. the "insert 'false 0 startjob pop'
between the files in the concatenation" variation didn't work
either.
psmerge from the psutils package, when invoked like so:
psmerge -o- file1.ps file2.ps | a2ps -o- | gv -
results in an empty page.
the method at http://ktmatu.com/info/merge-pdf-files/ works, but
it's cumbersome[1].
any clues on how i can do this for a bulk operation?
[1] actually, it's interesting because it links the original files,
rendering it into a general purpose program almost if you could
somehow pass the two parameters of the to-be-linked file in with the
command invocation. is this possible somehow?
