I want to print a PDF file with all pages scaled down equally (to, say, 70 %). The scaled-down pages should then be left-aligned on the printing paper.This doesn't seem to be possible with lpr alone. With pdfjam I can scale the pages (--scale 0.7) but I don't know/see any option to align the scaled pages. A negative offset (like --offset '-3cm 0cm') doesn't work.
Print PDF scaled-down and aligned

Ok, got it. The key to success is to explicitly specify paper size.Example, original PDF has DIN A4 page size, thenpdfjam --a4paper --scale 0.5 ---offset -7cm 0cm -- inputfilesdoes the trick. I'm not sure why -x with x<10 didn't work before.
