psfindpages

psfindpages reads PostScript from standard input and shows which pages are gray/color. You can then use displayed values as arguments of the psselect "-p" option. The command internally calls ghostscript to render each page and to determine whether it is gray/color.

Usage

The command line options are:

psfindpages [OPTION]...
-g, --gs=GS               use GS as the command name of ghostscript (default gs).
-t, --type=TYPE           use TYPE (c, g, or cg) to determine which types of
                          pages to be shown (default: cg).
-h, --help                display this help and exit.
-v, --version             output version information and exit.

Example usages are as follows:

# show both color and gray pages
bash$ psfindpages < paper.ps
30,59,79-80
1-29,31-58,60-78,81-88

# show color pages
bash$ psfindpages -t c < paper.ps
30,59,79-80

# show gray pages
bash$ psfindpages -t g < paper.ps
1-29,31-58,60-78,81-88

# get two ps files based on colors
bash$ psselect -p`psfindpages -t c < paper.ps` < paper.ps > paper-color-part.ps
bash$ psselect -p`psfindpages -t g < paper.ps` < paper.ps > paper-gray-part.ps

# the faster way
bash$ set `psfindpages < paper.ps`
bash$ psselect -p$1 < paper.ps > paper-color-part.ps
bash$ psselect -p$2 < paper.ps > paper-gray-part.ps
