settings made there are over-ridden by any that
are found at a site-wide configuration file 
(at /etc/pdfjam.conf, 
/usr/share/etc/pdfjam.conf, /usr/local/share/pdfjam.conf, or
/usr/local/etc/pdfjam.conf), which
in turn are over-ridden by any that are found in a user-defaults
file at ~/.pdfjam.conf\&.
