issues with Mutool and MuP
running this on MX-Linux: I'm trying to work with the latest release of MuPDF library.
if i a the document into pieces (A 5) then i get fancy results: the number of the pages (the pagination) does fulle get lost..
1,4,3,2,5, and so forth
btw: see the commands i run:
mutool poster -x 2 input.pdf output.pdf
states that the document should be divided into two parts in the X axis. The cutting axis is accordingly in the middle from top to bottom, so that two equal sides are created on the left and right.
You can split a document into individual pages with pdftk
pdftk input.pdf burst
we can find the output files in the same directory as pg_0001.pdf, pg_0002.pdf etc
what goes wrong here!?
see the datset - https://www.file-upload.net/download-14207207/__0_100__20200413204027.pdf.html
what is wanted: i want to cut this into A5 :: note: the A5-Formate is 148 mm width and 210 mm height
i use the commands from these ressources: https://www.mankier.com/1/mupdf https://mupdf.com/docs/
any ideas?
Same issue here when trying to split a scanned pdf in 4 pages per page.
In my case, the offending pages are those that have been rotated.
It seems that somehow the pdf file knows it's been rotated and mutool ignores this. I solved it first printing the file to a new pdf file so that it forgets about the rotation, then mutool works fine.
I used unovonv as it was inside a script:
unoconv -f pdf -o output.pdf input.pdf
