pdf-cropmarks.pl -- Use PDF::Cropmarks to add cropmarks to an existing PDF.
pdf-cropmarks.pl [ options ] input.pdf output.pdf
Both the input file and output file must be specified. The output file is replaced if already exists.
The dimensions of the output PDF.
You can specify the dimension providing a (case insensitive) string with the paper name (2a, 2b, 36x36, 4a, 4b, a0, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, b0, b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, broadsheet, executive, ledger, legal, letter, tabloid) or a string with width and height separated by a column, like 11cm:200mm. Supported units are mm, in, pt and cm.
11cm:200mm
No margins (and no cropmarks on the top of the page).
No margins (and no cropmarks on the bottom of the page).
No margins (and no cropmarks) on the inner margins of the page. By default inner sides are the left margins on odd pages, and right margins on even pages. If --one-side is specified, the inner margins are always the left one.
Same as --no-inner, but for the outer margins.
Affects how to consider --no-outer or --no-inner. If this flag is set, outer margins are always the right one, and inner are always the left ones.
Size of the cropmark lines. Defaults to 12mm.
The distance from the logical page corner and the cropmark line. Defaults to 3mm.
The font size of the headers and footers with the job name, date, and page numbers. Defaults to 8pt.
If set to 1, means that all the pages should fit in a single signature, otherwise it should be a multiple of 4. By default no signature is computed. Ignored if --one-side is passed. This is needed if you want to take account of the paper thickness for the cutting correction.
This option is active only when the signature is active. Default to 0.1mm, which is appropriate for the common paper 80g/m2. You can do the math measuring a stack height and dividing by the number of sheets.
Relevant if signature is passed. Usually the last signature is filled with blank pages until it's full. With this option turned on, the last page of the document is moved to the end of the stack. If you have 13 pages, and a signature of 4, you will end up with 16 pages with cropmarks, and the last three empty. With this option you will have page 16 with the logical page 13 on it, while the pages 13-14-15 will be empty (but with cropmarks nevertheless).
