Package: texlive-extra-utils
Version: 2011.20120322-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I tried to use pdfjoin which is part of TeX to join PDF document pages.

It turns out that when the first page of the document is slightly larger
than the rest of the pages this prevents pdfjam from producing usable
output. The first page has correct orientation but the following pages
are rotated.

It seems that the undocumented parameter --rotate-oversized (set to
true) might be the culprit. However

1) the parameter is not documented
2) the pages are not oversized, they are undersized
3) rotating the pages is in no way useful since they are actually the
same format (landscape). It would be only useful if rotating the page
would yield larger page size after fitting it to the output paper size.

Attaching sample (empty) pages.

 $ pdfjoin --frame true  page1.pdf page2.pdf 
          ----
  pdfjam: This is pdfjam version 2.08.
  pdfjam: Reading any site-wide or user-specific defaults...
          (none found)
  pdfjam: Effective call for this run of pdfjam:
          /usr/bin/pdfjam --fitpaper 'true' --rotateoversize 'true' --suffix joined --frame 'true' -- page1.pdf - page2.pdf -

  pdfjam: Finished.  Output was to '/scratch/tmp/page2-joined.pdf'.

This is an old bug and according to upupstream it is behaving
in the expected way. Furthermore, it is an upupstream bug,
not related to Debian or upstream TeX Live, so should have 
been closed right away.

Closing it now.
