Page size is wrong

[euoia]

Hi,

Thanks for this wonderful program.

I wonder what I am doing wrong here?

I have a PDF which is A1 (594 x 840mm) and when I run it through it through pdftilecut the resulting pages are 19.94 × 26.08 cm. I would expect the page size to be 210 x 297mm.

The command I using is:

pdftilecut -in "Live Music A1.pdf" -out out.pdf

Specifying -tile-size A4 doesn't change anything:

pdftilecut -in "Live Music A1.pdf" -out out.pdf -tile-size A4

Nor does -tile-size "210mm x 297mm".

I don't know which version I am using (I didn't see a -version flag), but I installed on Mac OS using homebrew.

Edit: I think I have figured out the problem. I guess tile-size is the maximum page size, so it will produce pages smaller than this sometimes. If you print without scaling, it should just result in a larger margin. Is that right?

Second edit: I wonder whether (in light of #23) it might be better to product pages at the requested size, and simply have the additional margin on the page? It seems like there would be less opportunity for confusion with scaling.
