Hi !

pdfjam in texlive-collection-binextra-20200406-1 doesn't work.

Even a simple invocation such as

      pdfjam a.pdf

hangs while waiting for input from stdin.


pdfjam 3.03 in TeX Live 2020 have got a major update since TeX Live 2019.
There was a new challenge to make pdfjam work with MiKTeX on Windows through 
Cygwin.
But it introduced a bug that make pdfjam fail to work with pure Cygwin TeX Live 
packages.
This is a situation.

I made a pull-request to fix 10+ days ago, but it is not merged yet, and still 
I don't know whether it will be accepted or not:

      https://github.com/DavidFirth/pdfjam/pull/22

So, here, I attach a file to replace 
/usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/pdfjam/pdfjam for convenience.

Thanks.  I'll keep an eye on the PR.  It it doesn't get merged within the next 
few weeks, I'll just apply your patch locally and make a new release.

Hi,

Will you adopt a fixed version of pdfjam 3.03 for cygwin? (since the author 
seems too busy to merge it).

(1) Please adopt a version https://github.com/DavidFirth/pdfjam/pull/22 , at 
least.

(2) Or, please adopt a version https://github.com/DavidFirth/pdfjam/pull/26 , 
if you think the commit 
https://github.com/DavidFirth/pdfjam/pull/26/commits/d4025732b0fca36950ae9de60b9bd256da0b7617
 is favorable.

Thanks for the reminder.  I'll do this within the next few days.

Ken
