[STR New]

I just checked the poppler based pdftops 0.12.4 (from peppermint one) and
found that using the option "-origpagesizes" does not properly preserve
page independence:

The setpagedevice command in the PageSetup section should be emitted for
every page of the PDF that has it's own MediaBox or CropBox, and these
pages should bracketed by a save and restore statement. Otherwise changing
the output order or other page reordering will lead to weird results.

Moreover, it the source PDF really contains pages of different sizes, how
then is n-up printing handled?
