I'd like to print the following PDF to A4 oriented in landscape, then join the sheets together along the short sides.

github_sample.pdf

I tried this command:

./pdftilecut -tile-size '297mm x 210mm' -in github_sample.pdf -out github_sample_A4.pdf

Which produced this PDF:
github_sample_A4.pdf

As you can see, the top half of each page is cropped. Is it possible to achieve what I want with pdftilecut? Thanks

Due to the margin added to each page, you'll have to have two rows to fit an A4 in landscape. And that's what you've got in the output.

ok, that make sense.

That said, the aspect ratio of the output pages seems off - loading into Gimp gives me images 1095x542 pixels

The output size is the maximum size. The tiles are output to be all the same size (so that you don't potentially get a narrow strip of a tile on ends).

The docs can probably clarify that.
