+ (description "@command{pdfposter} can be used to create a large poster by
+building it from multple pages and/or printing it on large media. It expects
+as input a PDF file, normally printing on a single page. The output is again
+a PDF file, maybe containing multiple pages together building the poster. The
+input page will be scaled to obtain the desired size.
+
+This is much like @command{poster} does for Postscript files, but working with
+PDF. Since sometimes @command{poster} does not like your files converted from
+PDF. Indeed @command{pdfposter} was inspired by @command{poster}.")
