Subject: pdfnup ignores ~/.pdfjam.conf
Date: Wed, 03 Dec 2014 23:01:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20141204T000104-319@post.gmane.org> (raw)
I'm using pdfjam that comes with 64-bit cygwin's
texlive-collection-binextra package, dated 29 May 2013. I have the
following in my ~/.pdfjam.conf:
paper='letterpaper'
nup='1x2'
landscape='landscape'
frame='true'
I invoke pdfjam using
pdfnup filename.pdf
and the messages show that the ~/.pdfjam.conf is being read, as are
the switches therein.
pdfjam: This is pdfjam version 2.08.
pdfjam: Reading any site-wide or user-specific defaults...
##
## From /home/User.Name/.pdfjam.conf:
##
paper='letterpaper'
nup='1x2'
landscape='landscape'
frame='true'
pdfjam: Effective call for this run of pdfjam:
/bin/pdfjam --suffix nup --nup '2x1'
--landscape -- filename.pdf -
pdfjam: Calling pdflatex...
pdfjam: Finished. Output was to
'/home/User.Name/tmp/filename-nup.pdf'.
The "Effective call" above shows that ~/.pdfjam.conf is being ignored,
even though the switch settings are being read. The output confirms
this. However, if I specify the switch settings in the pdfnup
statement itself, they are accepted.
What am I doing wrong in setting up ~/.pdfjam.conf?
If all is correct, does anyone else see this problem?
P.S. In a corporate environment, updating packages is problematic.
