[FM Discuss] pdf help

[adam]

i did this:

#!/bin/bash
pdftk $1 burst
for f in pg_*
do
  pdftk $f $f cat output $f.pdf
  rm $f
done

for g in pg_*
do
  pdfnup --nup 2x1 $g --outfile $g.pdf
  rm $g
done

pdftk pg_* cat output $1_combined.pdf






if anyone can optimise this rather fugly script i'd be happy to see
it :)
