layout_preset() is now preset instead of name (so we can now pass layout_grid()'s new name argument in the ...).paper is now getOption("papersize", "letter") instead of (depending on the function) "letter" or "special".bm_create_pdf() and pdf_create_blank() now follow the convention that paper size will be determined by height and width if either are non-missing (and/or paper = "special") otherwise paper size will be determined by both paper and orientation.pdf_rm_crosshairs() now removes crosshairs from all pages. You'll need to explicitly pass pages = "odd" to get the previous behaviour.rasterize = TRUE.The following PDF creation functions:
pdf_add_lines() adds lines along the components of a print-and-play layout.pdf_add_overlay() overlays custom graphics on selected pages.pdf_apply() can modify the selected pages of pdf files by overlaying custom graphics on top and/or customizing the (rasterized) original contents.pdf_change_paper() changes the paper size of a pdf centering the original contents.pdf_combine() combines multiple pdf files into one (wraps qpdf::pdf_combine()).pdf_create_4x6_jacket() creates 4x6 photo storage box jacket pdf files.pdf_create_poker_jacket() creates poker deck storage box jacket pdf files.pdf_overlay_stamp() overlays a stamp pdf onto each page of a pdf (wraps qpdf::pdf_overlay_stamp()).pdf_pdfxup() wraps the pdfxup command-line program to create n-up PDF documents with automatic margin removal. pdf_pdfxup_booklet() is a convenience wrapper with defaults suited for printing a physical booklet.pdf_rasterize() re-renders a pdf by rasterizing each page.pdf_rep() repeats pages of a pdf similar to rep().pdf_scale() scales pdf contents centered within the page.pdf_pages() and pdf_subset() gain three new pages string options: "interleave" interleaves the first and second halves of the pages (requires an even number of pages); "interleave_first" repeats the first page and interleaves it with the remaining pages; "interleave_last" repeats the last page and interleaves it with the preceding pages.
pdf_create_jacket() gains orientation, width, height, depth, and bg arguments.
pdf_create_jacket_instructions() gains an orientation argument.

rectangle grob filled with a color, bitmap, grob, or pattern.
grid.full() creates a fullGrob() and draws it to the active graphics device.grid_add_layout() draws a list of images according to a layout object.grid_add_origami() draws origami fold symbols for a box jacket. grid_add_origami_bb() draws origami fold symbols optimized for Boardgame Barrio's Small Board Game Jackets.The following enhancements to bm_crop_layout():
name argument as an alternative to row and col.layout's angle value is non-zero.The following enhancements to layout_grid():
angle, direction, and name argumentsangle and name columns to returned data frames.The following enhancements to layout_preset():
... argument(s) passed to layout_grid().name value button_shy_rules_2x2 to support Button Shy's 4-page booklets.name values 4x6_jacket, poker_jacket_1x1, and poker_jacket_1x2 for storage box jackets created by pdf_create_4x6_jacket() and pdf_create_poker_jacket().angle and name columns to returned data frames.layout_name_fn() can be used to return a function to generate layout names in layout_grid()'s name argument.
layout_octavo() calculates a layout data frame for one side of a 16-page octavo booklet signature using a standard sheetwise imposition.
All functions with a dpi argument now default to getOption("pnpmisc.dpi", 300) to allow setting a global default dpi.
The following PDF modification functions:
pdf_add_cropmarks() adds crop marks to the pdf (#21).pdf_add_crosshairs() adds crosshairs to the pdf (#2).pdf_add_origami() adds origami symbols to the pdf.
Currently only supports adding some origami symbols to
Boardgame Barrio's Small Board Game Jackets (#1).pdf_add_rects() adds (round)rects to the pdf (#6).pdf_clean() copies pdf file while removing temporary pdf files.pdf_compress(), pdf_rotate_pages(), and pdf_subset() wrap the {qpdf} functions of the
same name but follow the conventions of this package (i.e. input first positional argument, output second positional argument and defaults to temporary file, all other arguments must be named).pdf_gs() processes a pdf file with ghostscript.pdf_append_blank() adds blank pages to the end of a pdf file (#10).pdf_pad_paper() makes a pdf file larger by padding it (i.e. adding space to the outside margins).
The original images are not rescaled (#5).pdf_rm_crosshairs() removes crosshairs from a pdf file (#7).pdf_set_bookmarks(), pdf_set_docinfo(), and pdf_set_xmp() wrap around
