pdfxup: Create a PDF in booklet mode (2-up, and pages are sorted to form a book when folded).
$ pdfxup -b -o ${path-to-output-pdf} ${path-to-input-pdf}
try on your machine

The command pdfxup is being executed with certain options and arguments. Here is the breakdown of each part of the command:

  • pdfxup: This is the main command being executed. It is likely a custom or third-party tool used for manipulating PDF files.
  • -b: This option is passed to pdfxup, indicating that it should perform a specific behavior or action. The exact behavior associated with this option depends on the specific tool being used.
  • -o ${path-to-output-pdf}: This option is used to specify the output file path and name for the resulting PDF. ${path-to-output-pdf} is a placeholder, which should be replaced by the actual file path where the resulting PDF will be saved.
  • ${path-to-input-pdf}: This is an argument passed to the pdfxup command, specifying the input PDF file that will be processed. ${path-to-input-pdf} is a placeholder, which should be replaced by the actual file path of the input PDF that needs to be manipulated.

To summarize, the command is instructing the pdfxup tool to execute a specific behavior (-b option) on an input PDF file (${path-to-input-pdf}) and save the resulting PDF to an output file (${path-to-output-pdf}). The actual behavior and file paths depend on the specific functionality and file paths in use.
