Rotate every other page with pdfjam

I want to rotate 180 degrees every odd page using pdfjam. I do not want to use pdftk, as in this question. The command seems to be pdf180, but the selection does not seem to take rules like odd/even pages. Also, if I skip pages, the new document does not include them. Thus, the command



pdfjam180 file.pdf 1 3 5 7 9 


produces a file without pages 2, 4, 6, and 8.



Also, I have a large document, so would like to save space when writing this. I cannot see anything useful in pdfjam --help.



How can I achieve this goal?



If a one-line command cannot produce this, I guess I could have a script, which produces $N$ number of rotated files, and then merge them?

          If I were in your shoes I'd split the document in as many files as the pages, rotate only odd ones, and merge all the pages together.
