How To Fix fixtd: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu fixtd is provided by impose+ package.

impose+ is:

A set of utilities for manipulating DSC compliant postscript. The following programs are included:

impose: A preprocessor to pstops for creating 2-up printouts. It tries to remove white space from the printout by probing the original postscript for the printed area’s bounding box. This makes the output more esthetic than a simplistic layout of non-cropped original pages.

bboxx: Extracts the bounding boxes of a postscript file, with the option of entering the bounding box into the file. This program uses the ghostscript bbox device.

fixtd: Sets options in a Postscript file asking the printer to turn on tumbling or duplex printing.

psbl: Rearranges pages in a file to create booklets.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install impose+

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install impose+.
