Using PDFio for multiple source page imposition on one destination page

[hectormonacci]

Hi, I approached PDFio in search of a PDF manipulation library to be used in my C version of a utility I originally wrote in Perl. It is called "paperback" and it can be used to prepare a big-papersize PDF, with page reordering and imposition, using as source a small-page PDF. I have tried to use PDFio's page copy function, to copy a page from the source PDF file to the destination PDF file, but I need to, e.g., impose 2 or 4 source pages onto a single output page. I think the input page should be extracted as a Form Xobject for that to be possible.

Do you think the current PDFio library can be used to do that, i.e., multiple small pages imposition on a single new (bigger) page in an output PDF, or should I look elsewhere?

Absolutely - the ipptransform code in the libcups does this.

Wonderful news, Michael! I'm already beginning to study your code in ipptransform.c!
