NAME¶
AMC-imprime - prints AMC multiple choice answer sheets to be
distributed to the students
SYNOPSIS¶
auto-multiple-choice imprime
--sujet subject.pdf --fich-nums numbers-file.txt
--data data-dir --methode method
[where-to-print-arguments...]
DESCRIPTION¶
The AMC-imprime.pl command prints selected copies from a
AMC multiple choice answer sheet.
What to print¶
The following arguments describe what to print:
--sujet subject.pdf
sets the subject file (prepared by
AMC-prepare(1)).
--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
AMC-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.
Where to print¶
Several printing methods are currently defined:
•with "
--methode CUPS",
AMC-imprime.pl 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",
AMC-imprime.pl 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",
AMC-imprime.pl 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 options¶
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.
