This small script is designed to take a list of page description files (simple text files) and generate insert pages for electronic component storage files.
Each page consists of up to 12 entries with up to 3 values (tab separated) per line. The first entry is the MPN of the component, the second a short description of the component (or the MPN again) and the third a longer textual description of the component.
Each printed line consists of one or two lines of text plus a 2D "micropdf412" barcode of the MPN.
If only 2 fields are specified in the file only one line of text is printed.
If only 1 field is specified in the file the MPN is printed in place of the second (omitted) field.
If the second field is % the first field is automatically copied into its place.
