NAME

auto-multiple-choice-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 auto-multiple-choice imprime 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 auto-multiple-choice-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 auto-multiple-choice-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 ", auto-multiple-choice imprime 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 ", auto-multiple-choice imprime 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 ", auto-multiple-choice imprime 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.
