18 Interesting. Yes it kind of worked:
19 pdfjam t4sum_1page.pdf 1.pdf --outfile merged.pdf --nup "1x2" --delta "0 -200pt" --papersize "{500pt, 200pt}"
20
21 But the output is small. When I tried --paper letterpaper
22 it is out of alignment.
23
24 So it needs some work, but it might be the solution.
