[where-to-print-arguments...]
The auto-multiple-choice imprime command prints selected
copies from a AMC multiple choice answer sheet.
The following arguments describe what to print:
--sujet subject.pdf
--fich-nums numbers-file.txt
gives a file where the numbers of the copies to be
printed are written (one number per line). If this argument is not given, all
the copies will be printed.
--data data-dir
gives the directory where data files are (see for example
auto-multiple-choice-meptex(1)). The layout database in the data
directory is used to know at which page of the subject file each copy begins
and ends.
--split
asks to print separate answer sheets separately.
--answer-first
asks to reorder the pages of each copy to get the
separate answer sheet first.
Several printing methods are currently defined:
•with "
--methode CUPS",
auto-multiple-choice imprime prints to a CUPS printer. One print job is
sent for each copy, allowing for example to use stapling. Use the following
options with this method:
--imprimante printer
sets the CUPS printer name to print to.
--options cups-options
gives CUPS options, in the
opt1=value1,opt2=value2,... format.
•with "
--methode file",
auto-multiple-choice imprime outputs the answer sheets to files (one
for each copy).
--output filename
sets the filename for outputs. The '%e' sequence will be
replaced by a 4-digits copy number. If filename does not contain '%e',
the string '-%e.pdf' will be added at its end.
•with "
--methode command",
auto-multiple-choice imprime will use a provided command for each copy.
--print-command command
gives the command to be used for printing. The
command string will be split at each space character (even when using
quotes...). The sequence '%f' will be replaced by a PDF filename (containing
the copy to print), and '%e' will be replaced by the copy number.
Other available options:
--extract-with command
gives the command to use to extract pages from the PDF
subject. Currently, pdftk, gs and qpdf are available. The
default value is pdftk, but qpdf and then gs will be used
if the pdftk command is not installed.
