try with `--paper a3paper` instead of `--paper a3`.

Unfortunately, pdfjam is not helpful enough to provide an error message, but 
papersizes are always given as `*paper`. If the size isn't known, then pdfjam 
silently takes the LaTeX default (which is likely to be either A4 or letter 
format), and scales appropriately - unless you use `--noautoscale true`. So 
it's indistinguishable unless you actually look at the PDF pages' dimensions, 
or print without scaling.


Cheers,
Alex
