Advanced OS lecture notes

Tips on printing slides. To print several PDF slides to a page, you can run the following commands on Unix after downloading a PDF file, say l1.pdf:

• This command creates a postscript file l1x4.ps, which you can print on Unix with the lpr command. Substitute the appropriate lecture number for 1. To print more than four slides per page, substitute a different number for 4.

  % pdftops l1.pdf - | psnup -pletter -l -4 > l1x4.ps
  

• This command creates a PDF file l1x4.pdf, which may be easier to print on Windows.

  % pdftops l1.pdf - | psnup -pletter -l -4 \
      | ps2pdf - > l1x4.pdf
