---|
8 | pkpgcounter is a generic Page Description Language parser. |
---|
9 | .PP |
---|
10 | pkpgcounter parses any number of input files and/or its standard input |
---|
11 | and outputs the number of pages needed to print these documents. |
---|
12 | .PP |
---|
13 | pkpgcounter can also compute the percent of ink coverage in different |
---|
14 | colorspaces for several file formats. |
---|
15 | .PP |
---|
16 | pkpgcounter currently recognizes the following document formats : |
---|
17 | .IP |
---|
18 | * PostScript (both DSC compliant and binary) |
---|
19 | * PDF |
---|
20 | * PCLXL (aka PCL6) |
---|
21 | * PCL3/4/5 (mostly) |
---|
22 | * DVI |
---|
23 | * Plain text |
---|
24 | * TIFF |
---|
25 | * ESC/P2 |
---|
26 | * OpenDocument (ISO/IEC DIS 26300) |
---|
27 | * Zenographics ZjStream |
---|
28 | * Samsung QPDL (aka SPL2) |
---|
29 | * Samsung SPL1 |
---|
30 | .PP |
---|
31 | The five latter ones, as well as some TIFF documents, are currently |
---|
32 | only supported in page counting mode. |
---|
33 | .PP |
---|
34 | command line usage : |
---|
35 | .IP |
---|
36 | pkpgcounter [options] [files] |
---|
37 | .PP |
---|
38 | options : |
---|
39 | .TP |
---|
40 | \fB\-v\fR | \fB\-\-version\fR |
---|
41 | Prints pkpgcounter's version number then exits. |
---|
42 | .TP |
---|
43 | \fB\-h\fR | \fB\-\-help\fR |
---|
44 | Prints this message then exits. |
---|
45 | .TP |
---|
46 | \fB\-d\fR | \fB\-\-debug\fR |
---|
47 | Activate debug mode. |
---|
48 | .TP |
---|
49 | \fB\-cCOLORSPACE\fR, \fB\-\-colorspace\fR=\fICOLORSPACE\fR |
---|
50 | Activate the computation of ink usage, and defines the |
---|
51 | colorspace to use. Supported values are 'BW' (Black), |
---|
52 | \&'RGB', 'CMYK', 'CMY', and 'GC' (Grayscale vs Color). |
---|
53 | \&'GC' is useful if you only need to differentiate |
---|
54 | grayscale pages from coloured pages but don't care |
---|
55 | about ink usage per se. |
---|
56 | .TP |
---|
57 | \fB\-rRESOLUTION\fR, \fB\-\-resolution\fR=\fIRESOLUTION\fR |
---|
58 | The resolution in DPI to use when checking ink usage. |
---|
59 | Lower resolution is faster but less accurate. Default |
---|
60 | is 72 dpi. |
---|
61 | .PP |
---|
62 | examples : |
---|
63 | .IP |
---|
64 | \f(CW$ pkpgcounter file1.ps file2.escp2 file3.pclxl <file4.pcl345\fR |
---|
65 | .IP |
---|
66 | Will launch pkpgcounter and will output the total number of pages |
---|
67 | needed to print all the documents specified. |
---|
68 | .IP |
---|
69 | \f(CW$ pkpgcounter --colorspace bw --resolution 150 file1.ps\fR |
---|
70 | .IP |
---|
71 | Will output the percent of black ink needed on each page of |
---|
72 | the file1.ps file rendered at 150 dpi. |
