  • 0

I’m often interested in cropping pdfs,* and one tool I use to do this is Heiko Oberdiek’s script pdfcrop.pl. I would like to try pdfcrop2, a fork of pdfcrop.pl, but the Google Code page (the only source of information I’ve found about pdfcrop2) only has patches to an old version of pdfcrop.pl, which I can’t find a copy of. Does anybody know where I can either get a copy of pdfcrop2 or version 1.5 of pdfcrop.pl?

*In addition to getting ahold of a working copy of pdfcrop2, I’d be happy to learn about any other tools (preferably Free) that can be used to crop pdfs. pdftk is fantastic for doing just about anything other than cropping.

    Edit: The full pdfcrop2 is available in their svn repo: http://code.google.com/p/pdfcrop2/source/browse/trunk/pdfcrop.pl

    Original answer.

    pdfcrop 1.5 was shipped with debian and ubuntu; looking in the orig.tar.gz for the texlive-bin source package which you can grab from a nearby Debian mirror should work.
