Command Print From Terminal

Print to PDF with Ubuntu (Linux) 17 March 2013. Like with any other system some time you will need to print to a PDF document to send this to someone else.

This software I tested on Solaris 11.2 operating system can create that scheme which is called 2-up, usually used for hand-out at classrooms or meetings. It is possible to produce other schemes; for example, hand-out with 3 or 4 or more pages on one sheet or both sides of a sheet. It can be run from a terminal as it is a JAR file or just run the GUI for ease of access. Besides Solaris other Linux distributions are also compatible, running the software, as 'executable,' with super-user privileges. Be aware not using 'Open the Archive.'

It is also working on any Windows and Mac where there is already a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, as is the case most of the time. Software is and is free to download and to use.
