Creates books with flip on short-edge

[Geremia]

This program used to work, but now it creates booklets with the binding/flip on the short-edge, not the long-edge.

[Geremia]

It has the same behavior regardless if I specify --short-edge or not.

I was able to temporarily fix this issue by putting "--a3paper", after pdfbook2#L120.
I have no idea why. The output is 8.5×11, like I wanted anyways (not A3), but somehow it fixed the issue.

@Geremia I just tried adding --a3paper here, and it didn't help for me (with v1.4).

    pdfJamCallList = [
        "pdfjam",
        "--a3paper",
        "--landscape",
        "--suffix",
        "book",
        tmpFile,
    ]

Did I understand you correctly?

@edbrannin Yes, for some reason it worked for me.
