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.
