-A. DESCRIPTION
-==============
-PDFCROP takes a PDF file as input, calculates the BoundingBox
-for each page by the help of ghostscript and generates a output
-PDF file with removed margins.
-
-B. COPYRIGHT, DISCLAIMER, LICENSE

-conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.2
-of this license or (at your option) any later version.
-The latest version of this license is in
- http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
-and version 1.2 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX
-version 1999/12/01 or later.
-
-C. FILES
-========
-The project `pdfcrop' consists of two files:
-pdfcrop.pl: This perl script is the main program. The extension
- `.pl' may be omitted.
-README: Documentation, the file you are reading.
-
-Following temporary files are produced if `pdfcrop' is invoked:
-tmp-pdfcrop-*.tex: input file for pdfTeX
-tmp-pdfcrop-*.log: log file of pdfTeX run
-tmp-pdfcrop-*.pdf: result after pdfTeX run
-
-D. REQUIREMENTS
-===============
-* Perl5 (version 5 of the perl interpreter)
-* Ghostscript (>= 8.0 if PDF file contains rotated pages)
-* pdfTeX, version >= 1.0 (because of page selecting and \pdfximage syntax)
-
-E. INSTALLATION
-===============
-
-1. Perl script `pdfcrop.pl':
-
- TDS 1.1 location:
- * texmf/scripts/pdfcrop/pdfcrop.pl
- * and a directory that is part of PATH contains a wrapper script
- or link with name "pdfcrop".
-
- Unix
- * It is allowed to rename `pdfcrop.pl' to `pdfcrop':
- mv pdfcrop.pl pdfcrop
- * Ensure that the execute permission is set:
- chmod +x pdfcrop
- * Move the file to a directory where the shell can find it
- (environment variable PATH, e.g. /usr/local/bin/).
-
- Dos/Windows/(OS2)
- * See requirements. I do not expect that the perl script
- run under DOS or Windows. With cygwin it can work however.
-
-2. Documentation `README':
-
- Copy it to an appropriate place, for example
- `/usr/local/share/doc/pdfcrop/README'.
- I is allowed to rename it to `pdfcrop.txt'.
-
- TDS location:
- somewhere below texmf/doc/... (?)
- Examples:
- TDS:doc/support/pdfcrop/README
- TDS:doc/scripts/pdfcrop/README
- TDS:doc/scripts/pdfcrop.txt
-
-F. USER INTERFACE
-=================
-* ToDo: User manual
-* Online help:
- pdfcrop --help
-* Ghostscript's calculation of the bounding box is faster,
- if --resolution 72 is used instead of ghostscript's implicite
- default setting of 4000 DPI (hint from Ionut Georgescu).
- Of course the calculation with higher resolution settings are
- more accurate.

-I. QUESTIONS, SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS
-====================================
-If you have questions, problems with `pdfcrop', error reports,
-if you have improvements or want to have additional features,
-please send them to the author.
-
-My environment for developing and testing:
-* linux, SuSE 9.0
-* perl v5.8.1
-* pdfTeX 3.141592-1.40.x
-* Ghostscript 8.x
-
-J. KNOWN PROBLEMS
-=================
-* Some Perl versions (newer Perl on Windows) miss open("-|").
- This should be fixed in version 1.11 by a workaround found in
- http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfork.html.
-
