Known Problems -K. History -L. ToDo - -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 -================================= -Copyright (C) 2002, 2004, 2005, 2008 Heiko Oberdiek. - -This program may be distributed and/or modified under the -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. - -G.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT -================== -Anthony Williams -Scott Pakin <pakin at uiuc.edu> -Ionut Georgescu -Yves J\"ager -R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar -Christian Stapfer - -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. - -K.
