[Support question] Using -u and -s, how to force a certain output page size e.g. DIN A4 ?

[Wikinaut]

I have an (8-page-) input pdf, a broschure with non-standard format and use pdfcropmargin -u -s. I want to have the maximum relevant output (i.e. "cropped") to be scaled to the maximum extent and also centered to DIN A4, but don't know, how I have to set up the command line.

Perhaps you can help me, thanks in advance.

Background: I then feed the 8 cropped pages to pdfjam-pocketmod, and this requires the eight input pdf pages to be A4. When the input is not fully filling the A4 format, the pocketmod has too small "pages".

Solved. I simply have to run pdfjam.

So the (my) tool chain is:

pdfcropmargin -u -s in.pdf
pdfjam in_cropped.pdf
pdfjam-pocketmod in_cropped-pdfjam.pdf

to get in_cropped-pdfjam_pocketmod.pdf.

This is almost perfect. Thank you for your great tool, I was looking for all the years.

Extreme output example without margins:. In production I use pdfcropmargin -u -s -a -25 in.pdf.
