Above, I made a small error.

$ egrep -i "error|warn|fail|miss|unknown|not found" /tmp/pdfjam-uZGvhO/a.log
/tmp/pdfjam-uZGvhO/a.log:! Package keyval Error: output undefined.

should read

$ egrep -i "error|warn|fail|miss|unknown|not found" /tmp/pdfjam-uZGvhO/a.log
! Package keyval Error: output undefined.

Originally, I issued

$ egrep -i "error|warn|fail|miss|unknown|not found" /tmp/pdfjam-uZGvhO/*

with more lines found; each started with a file name.
