I had this problem too. Check for obsolete versions of pppdftex.def and ppvtex.def in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/ Removing those files fixed pdfnup.
Same problem with app-text/pdfjam-1.20-r1 using pdfjoin. $ pdfjoin ch01.pdf ch02.pdf --outfile new.pdf This is pdfjoin version 1.20 Temporary LaTeX file for this job is /var/tmp/pdfjoin.gspbyv/11475.tex Calling pdflatex... cp: cannot `stat' «/var/tmp/pdfjoin.gspbyv/11475.pdf»: No such file or directory
I also have the same problem when using pdfnup: $ pdfnup --nup 1x1 --pages 4-14 sdarticle.pdf This is pdfnup version 1.20 Processing sdarticle.pdf... Temporary LaTeX file for this job is /var/tmp/pdfnup.cQ6Dd3/19419-1.tex Calling pdflatex... cp: cannot stat `/var/tmp/pdfnup.cQ6Dd3/19419-1.pdf': No such file or directory I thought adding --tidy false would help, but it made no difference.
