How to tile multiple small page PDFs on a single standard size PDF?

+1
−0

Suppose I have a PDF which is 2x3 in. I want to create a PDF with a single page, which has multiple copies of this. For example, if the small pieces are in landscape, and the large page is in portrait, I could tile 2x5 (6x10 in total area vs 8.5x11 letter paper) and fit a total of 10 copies on a single page.

I will be working with various dimensions of such small PDFs, so I want a method where I can put in a custom tiling number.

Ideally, I would like the tiling to be without margins between the copies, and the whole block should be centered on the page.

Are you looking for a programming method to do this (e.g., a library for Python, etc.) or off-the-shelf software? Do you have any existing software that might be able to do it and just need help getting the details straight?

Ideally I'm looking for a CLI solution. I don't mind writing a Python script, but you would think that such a basic task should already have a program written for it.
