I have a pdf document which covers half of an A4 page. Is there a way to duplicate the text/images of that document, such that I get a single page A4 document (pdf file) with twice the orginal content, one above each other? Since the original only covers half a page, no scaling should be necessary.

You can use a combination of pdfjam and pdftk to do this:
pdfjam --offset '0mm -148.5mm' half-a4.pdf --outfile other-a4.pdf
pdftk half-a4.pdf stamp other-a4.pdf output double.pdf
pdfjam is being used to shift the page down half a page (A4 = 297mm tall, and 297÷2=148.5). If you need to shift the other way, you'd use -110mm 0mm.
Then pdftk puts the two pages on top of each other.

You can try the command convert as follows:
convert -density 300 -define pdf:fit-page=A4 <in.pdf> <out.pdf>
Another solution:
pdfjam --outfile <output.pdf> --paper a4paper <input.pdf>
Main man page is here
Manual is here

Example commands are here

This did not do anything. The output.pdf file looks the same as the input.
