Package: pdfjam
Version: 1.20-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/pdfjoin


Hello

I was trying to join single-page documents, and some files would join in
a very weird way.

It turns out that pdfjoin sets the size of the document by one of the
pages (likely the first) regardless of the size of the other pages.
The file looks perfectly well and the problem can be detected only with
tools like pdfinfo that can show very sall dimensions of documents that
contain large pages.

If this page is 1ptx1pt blank padding page and the result of pdfjoin is
further processed by pdfnup the results are very interesting - the whole
result consists of blank pages that render very long as the invisible
objects are constructed.

It would be nice if pdfjoin and pdfnup took into account the maximum
page size or even allowed to specify the refernce page in some sane way.

Thanks

Michal

All these bugs are related to up-upstream, not Debian nor
TeX Live, so a fix will not happen unless up-upstream is contacted,
fixed versions uploaded to CTAN, and included in TeX Live.
According to our policy, I am closing these bugs.
