31pkpgcounter is a generic Page Description Language parser.
32
33pkpgcounter parses any number of input files and/or its standard input
34and outputs the number of pages needed to print these documents.
35
36pkpgcounter can also compute the percent of ink coverage in different
37colorspaces for several file formats.
38
39pkpgcounter currently recognizes the following document formats :
40
41    * PostScript (both DSC compliant and binary)
42    * PDF   
43    * PCLXL (aka PCL6)
44    * PCL3/4/5 (mostly)
45    * DVI
46    * Plain text
47    * TIFF
48    * Several other image formats
49    * ESC/P2
50    * OpenDocument (ISO/IEC DIS 26300)
51    * Zenographics ZjStream
52    * Samsung QPDL (aka SPL2)
53    * Samsung SPL1
54    * ESC/PageS03
55    * Brother HBP
56    * Hewlett-Packard LIDIL (hpijs)
57
58The eight latter ones, as well as some TIFF documents, are currently
59only supported in page counting mode.

61command line usage :
62
63  pkpgcounter [options] [files]
64
65options :
66
67  -v | --version        Prints pkpgcounter's version number then exits.
68  -h | --help           Prints this message then exits.
69 
70  -d | --debug          Activate debug mode.
71 
72  -cCOLORSPACE, --colorspace=COLORSPACE
73                        Activate the computation of ink usage, and defines the
74                        colorspace to use. Supported values are 'BW' (Black),
75                        'RGB', 'CMYK', 'CMY', and 'GC' (Grayscale vs Color).
76                        'GC' is useful if you only need to differentiate
77                        grayscale pages from coloured pages but don't care
78                        about ink usage per se.
79                       
80  -rRESOLUTION, --resolution=RESOLUTION
81                        The resolution in DPI to use when checking ink usage.
82                        Lower resolution is faster but less accurate. Default
83                        is 72 dpi.
84 
85examples :                             
86
87  $ pkpgcounter file1.ps file2.escp2 file3.pclxl <file4.pcl345
88 
89  Will launch pkpgcounter and will output the total number of pages
90  needed to print all the documents specified.
91 
92  $ pkpgcounter --colorspace bw --resolution 150 file1.ps
93 
94  Will output the percent of black ink needed on each page of
95  the file1.ps file rendered at 150 dpi.
