General ⇒ pdfpages does not respect rotated input pages

[toliman]

My input pdf-file consists of pages that were rotated to landscape by pdftk (L) and pages already in landscape mode.

I want to combine 4 pages into one with:

Code: Select all

pdfnup --nup 2x2 <input.pdf>

The resulting pdf-file does not correctly rotate the rotated input pdf-pages, but puts them in portait mode. It seems that pdfpages does not correctly handle (/Rotate attribute anymore). I use pdfpages v0.4r. This was reported as a known limitation in a very old release of pdfpages (2001), but is not anymore.

I tried the option "rotateoversize=true", but this didn't work correctly in all cases.

Is this a known issue or what other option do I have?
