I'm creating something like a directory and it would be really nice to put each person's birthday information into something like an index and have it sorted and printed at the end. I envision something like

\birthdate{Bob}{January}{1}
\birthdate{Tom}{February}{1}
\birthdate{Jill}{January}{15 ...

Just as an update, every year when it comes time to make these directories, I try making finding out why this doesn't work without the weird workaround for the graphicx and booklet conflict and every year I fail. So strange.

Hmm, well just playing around I removed the 1to1 option for the booklet package and now it seems to display landscape, but doesn't scale the page properly (as the 1to1 option is supposed to do). Still not really solved and still not sure why this happens in TeXLive 2016 and none of the versions prior.

Installed TeX Live 2016 on another computer and the same issue shows up here too, so obviously I still haven't figured this out.

Can no longer do booklets, it shows a portrait page.

Still looking for thoughts on why this is happening.

Thanks. I'd tested removing pdftex as an option and no change.

Ah, I forgot to reinsert a line: \setpdftargetpages

Add that, and then removing the graphicx package should show different behavior under 2015 and 2016.

Thanks Stefan, pgfpages won't really work, since the idea behind booklet is it reorders the pages for booklet printing, i.e., if you have multiple sheets of paper, you can print them out double-sided, fold them together, and you get page 2 and 3 next to each other even though they are on different ...

I've been doing a simple directory for quite a few years and never had a problem with it. But when installing TeX Live 2016 on a different computer, things no longer seem to function as before and it seems to have to do with the graphicx package?

Note:
1. the booklet package has not changed since ...

After looking at it again and going through all the files, it looks to me like the \appendix command is working fine, and \@chapapp is being correctly changed. The fault (to me) looks like the section of code I pointed out before, where the word "CHAPTER" is hard-coded into the table of contents for ...
