NAME
psdraft - add "draft" notices on POSTSCRIPT language documents
SYNOPSIS
psdraft [ -sstring ] [ -xxcoord ] [ -yycoord ] [ -ffont ] [ -rangle ] [ -
ggraylevel ] [ -o ] [ -poutfile ] [ -Pprinter ] [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
psdraft reads in conforming POSTSCRIPT language files and inserts
POSTSCRIPT language code to print a string such as "DRAFT" in the margins,
or anywhere on the page.
For example:
psdraft text.ps
produces a POSTSCRIPT file that, in addition to the image already described
in text.ps, prints the string "DRAFT" rotated 90 degrees in the right mar-
gin.
psdraft -s"Adobe Confidential" -r45 -x252 -y324 text.ps
produces a POSTSCRIPT file that includes the string "Adobe Confidential" in
the middle of the page, rotated 45 degrees.
The possible options are:
-sstring
puts string on the paper. The default is "DRAFT".
-rangle
rotates the string angle degrees. The default is 90.
-xxcoord
puts the string at the xcoord x-coordinate on the page. The default
is 575.
-yycoord
puts the string at the ycoord y-coordinate on the page. The default
is 300.
-ggraylevel
specifies the gray level for printing the string. The default is 0
(black).
-ffont
sets the font to be used for printing the string. The default is
Times-Roman30.
Font specifications have two parts: a font name as known to the
POSTSCRIPT printer (e.g., Times-Roman, Times-BoldItalic, Helvetica,
Courier), and a point size (1 point=1/72 inch; 8 point is a good small
point size). So Courier-Bold8 is 8 point Courier Bold, Helvetica12 is
12 point Helvetica.
-o specify that the outline of the font should be used. Default is not
to use outline.
-pout
causes the POSTSCRIPT file to be written to the named file rather than
being spooled for printing. As a special case, -p- will send the
POSTSCRIPT language document to the standard output (which is the
default behavior).
-Pprinter
specifies that psdraft should get information about the dimensions of
the paper from the POSTSCRIPT Printer Description file for printer.
This information is necessary to do rotation.
