I'm trying to combine multiple PDF files. When I run

it works fine except for one thing: the input is in letter format and the output appears to be in A4. A little bit of the right side gets cut off.
I've tried --mode=letter and a bunch of other options but nothing seems to force texexec to output in letter.
Can you help me?

Thanks so much for the quick response, but it still didn't work. We had to make do with A4, not big deal. However, maybe I should submit this as a bug since I really think I've tried every option shown in the help. Texexec is the ONLY free Linux software I could find that could merge encrypted PDFs without any loss in quality! Here's what I did: ##### pdfinfo ##### [mdw162@twain tmp]$ pdfinfo testcert10.pdf Title: Seagate Crystal Reports - 23C5F Author: mward00@THISTOWN Creator: PScript5.dll Version 5.2 Producer: Jaws PDF Creator v3.00.1343 CreationDate: Thu Jun 26 17:09:51 2003 Tagged: no Pages: 1 Encrypted: yes (print:yes copy:no change:no addNotes:no) Page size: 612 x 792 pts (letter) File size: 101763 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.3 [mdw162@twain tmp]$ pdfinfo testcert11.pdf Title: Seagate Crystal Reports - 23C5F Author: mward00@THISTOWN Creator: PScript5.dll Version 5.2 Producer: Jaws PDF Creator v3.00.1343 CreationDate: Thu Jun 26 17:09:51 2003 Tagged: no Pages: 1 Encrypted: yes (print:yes copy:no change:no addNotes:no) Page size: 612 x 792 pts (letter) File size: 101763 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.3 ##### ACTUAL COMMAND ##### [mdw162@twain tmp]$ texexec --pdfarrange --paper=letter*letter --print=2up --result=out.pdf testcert10.pdf testcert11.pdf ### Output attached as out.log ### ##### RESILT FILE INFO ##### [mdw162@twain tmp]$ pdfinfo out.pdf Creator: TeX Producer: pdfTeX-0.14h CreationDate: Fri Jul 4 18:28:00 2003 Tagged: no Pages: 2 Encrypted: no Page size: 595.276 x 841.89 pts File size: 202996 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.3 At this point I'm not really asking for help, but trying to maybe help point out a bug. It's texexec version 2.6, but if there is any other info you need please let me know. Oh --- and I know you're probably not the main developer/maintainer, but there wasn't one listed. So I'm going through you. :-) Thanks so much for your time and help! Marshall Ward On Wed, 2 Jul 2003, Hans Hagen wrote:

or if you run a recent context --paper=A*B being letter on doubleletter - which is actually non existent -
(there is an experimental gui for page imposition; will update/post that one soon)
