Folks, Can` anyone point me in the direction of `pdfjam`? It seems part of `texlive` but doesn't get installed with it. It seems to be provided in the fedora build system for EL: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=34352082 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=26454 I'm a bit stumped with what to install for it. Thanks -- Morgan Read Grande Bretagne Em: email:mstuffATreadDOTorgDOTnz

rpmfind.net shows this: PDFjam is a small collection of shell scripts which provide a simple interface to some of the functionality of the excellent pdfpages package (by Andreas Matthias) for pdfLaTeX. At present the utilities available are: * pdfnup, which allows PDF files to be "n-upped" in roughly the way that psnup does for PostScript files; * pdfjoin, which concatenates the pages of multiple PDF files together into a single file; * pdf90, which rotates the pages of one or more PDF files through 90 degrees (anti-clockwise). In every case, source files are left unchanged. A potential drawback of these utilities is that any hyperlinks in the source PDF are lost. On the positive side, there is no appreciable degradation of image quality in processing PDF files with these programs, unlike some other indirect methods such as "pdf2ps | psnup | ps2pdf" (in the author's experience). https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=pdfjam&submit=Search+... OpenMandriva source rpms don't always compile cleanly in RedHat/Fedora/Alma, etc., so be prepared to do some tweaking. -- -John (JohnDThompson@gmail.com) Appleton, WI USA

Thanks John for coming back - I would have thought the fedora 'pdfjam' sources would be a better place to start - I guess, whittling away at my question, I'm asking: Why does `texlive-base` built on Koji for EL seem to include `pdfjam`[1] yet, when I install `texlive-base` I do not get `pdfjam` - what does the list of rpms on that page[1] mean? (And, perhaps more likely, have I missed something bleeding obvious?) Or, put another way, how do I install `pdfjam` here: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=34352082 ? Or, in which repo that I don't have is `texlive-pdfjam` hiding: ``` $ sudo dnf install texlive-pdfjam* Last metadata expiration check: 0:20:08 ago on Fri 10 May 2024 11:54:45 BST. No match for argument: texlive-pdfjam* Error: Unable to find a match: texlive-pdfjam* $ $ sudo dnf repolist repo id repo name almalinux-synergy AlmaLinux 9 - Synergy appstream AlmaLinux 9 - AppStream baseos AlmaLinux 9 - BaseOS copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:croadfeldt:Unison Copr repo for Unison owned by croadfeldt crb AlmaLinux 9 - CRB elrepo ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository - el9 epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 9 - x86_64 epel-cisco-openh264 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 9 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 extras AlmaLinux 9 - Extras mullvad-stable Mullvad VPN plus AlmaLinux 9 - Plus rpmfusion-free-updates RPM Fusion for EL 9 - Free - Updates rpmfusion-nonfree-updates RPM Fusion for EL 9 - Nonfree - Updates ``` ? There seems to be something pretty basic that's flying by over my head...
