A4-A3-A4-3-pdftopdf.pdf

This file (example for a book with a fold-out page) is created with LibreOffice
and run through pdftopdf. It contains 3 pages:

1. A4 portrait, no rotation
2. A3 landscape, 90 degree rotation
3. A4 portrait, no rotation

So page size, orientation, and rotation vary.

Printing with the workaround of dropping "-origpagesizes" fails:

pdftops A4-A3-A4-3-pdftopdf.pdf

makes the second page being cropped to A4 portrait.

pdftops -paper A4 A4-A3-A4-3-pdftopdf.pdf

makes the second page being squeezed into A4 portrait.

In both cases the second page is correctly rotated.

So "-origpagesizes" is needed and without my patch

pdftops -origpagesizes A4-A3-A4-3-pdftopdf.pdf

leaves the second page unrotated and so on a printer which loads A3 paper
short-edge-first the second page is not correctly printed. With my patch it
gets rotated. The leaving out of the "%%DocumentMedia: ..." line in the
PostScript output also assures that all PostScript viewers can cope with the
changing page sizes.
