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.
Where to print
Several printing methods are currently defined:
o with "--methode CUPS", AMC-imprime.pl prints to a CUPS printer. One
print job is sent for each copy, allowing for exemple 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.
o 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.
o 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.
