Summary description: Shell scripts interfacing to pdfpages
Announcement text:
* Major version bumped to 4.00 to reflect major refactoring, and some minor backwards-incompatible changes. * New co-maintainer. * Several minor bug fixes. * New option `--builddir path` to build in `path` instead of a temporary directory. Overwrites files in `path` without further notice. * In the constructed tex file, included files are now referenced as `source-1.pdf` etc. instead of `/tmp/pdfjam-XXXXXX/source-1.pdf`. This improves reproducibility and allows referencing with hyperref. * Put every `--preamble` argument on distinct line in tex file. * Automatically add braces around values where necessary. Thus, one can now write `--papersize 7cm,3cm` and `--picturecommand '\put(20,20){Text}'`. * Support libpaper1 in addition to libpaper2 to obtain system default paper. * Support `--paper a4` etc. as alternative to `--paper a4paper`. * Support `--papersize 595,842` as alternative to `--papersize 595bp,842bp`. Prevents people adding unit `pt` where they actually mean `bp`. * Mirror page when `--papersize` and `--landscape` given. * Renames duplex edge flipping options `--longedge` to `--otheredge` and `--shortedge` to `--no-otheredge` to reflect their actual behaviour. * Support `--keepinfo --pdfauthor ''` to discard only the corresponding field while keeping the remaining pdfinfo. * Adds lots of regression and integration tests.

pdfjam – Shell scripts interfacing to pdfpages
The package makes available the pdfjam shell script that provides a simple interface to much of the functionality of the excellent pdfpages package (by Andreas Matthias) for LaTeX. The pdfjam script takes one or more PDF (and/or JPG/PNG) files as input, and produces one or more PDF files as output.
It is useful for joining files together, selecting pages, reducing several source pages onto one output page, etc., etc.
The package contains no PDF documentation, but a comprehensive --help output instead.
