I am so sorry, I tried it again and I can no longer reproduce either :-( I will try to think of if there was anything I was doing differently earlier.

Ok, you challenged me to test this on both TL 2022 (debian based) and TL 2023 (installed locally for a standalone user). Everything worked in both TL 2022 & 2023. Could you give me exact recipy how to reproduce your problem? Perhaps something specific about the pdf itself (you can send it to me privately if it's not conbfidental).

One possibility is that pdflatex changed again in new TL version, second option is that there is something specific about the pdf which you tried with the absolute path.

Re: [Offtopic] a5toa4
None of these tests give me any error messages. However, when I test it with
the absolute path, the output I get is different. I ran it on a two-page PDF
and with relative paths the resulting PDF is a single page with both pages side
by side, in a file called ORIGINALFILENAME-sidebyside.pdf. However, when I run
it with an absolute path, I get a PDF (in the same filename) with only the text
"width=!,height=!,pages=-,nup=2x1"

Alas, the former fix breaks with path specifications.
The path searching mechanism of pdflatex (when -output-directory is used)
is willing to consider current directory for path like "../../a/b/file"
but is unwilling to consider current directory when only "file" is provided.
Weird.
Alexander, would you mind testing for me 2nd version of the patch?
You need to unwind the last patch ("-R" for patch or just delete the
simple change manually) and then apply the current one.
3 scenarios to be tested:
1. a5toa4 local_file.pdf
2. a5toa4 some_relative_path/file.pdf
3. a5toa4 /absolute_path/file.odf
Works here with TL 2020, but I worry what other changes on searching
mechanisms of -output-directory awaits in the future TLs.
