`PDFCROP` does not output the cropped pdf.

[wanglongqi]

Under MAC OSX and Linux conditions, the package with pdfcrop works well. However, I found the pdfcrop command does not produce any output under a standard Windows installation. I failed in finding what is happening here. The pdfcrop command was executed, but the cropped pdf does not produced.

I will look into this when I have time. Anyone has any thought on this issue?

Progress on this bug:

1. bug coming from executing pdfcrop
2. bug is somehow related to path
3. bug is caused by pdfcrop calling perl script
4. replace the input path sep cannot fix the problem
5. escape the input path cannot fix the problem

Conclusion: no method to fix the bug now.

This is what happens to me on Windows 10:

Error in pdfcrop:
 CMD executed: pdfcrop "f:\appdata\temp\writetex-2hcokn\writetex.pdf"
PDFCROP 1.38, 2012/11/02 - Copyright (c) 2002-2012 by Heiko Oberdiek.

!!! Error: Copy from `f:\appdata\temp\writetex-2hcokn\writetex.pdf' to `tmp-pdfcrop-8720-img.pdf' failed (No such file or directory/Access is denied)

Process will continue without crop

but actually the rendered LaTeX appears correctly inside Inkscape...

@carlodri It seems pdfcrop introduces a lot of problems. I am thinking to remove it from the code.

By default, the execution will continue if the error is coming from pdfcrop. So you will get a result, but not in the center of the view.

@carlodri Can you test the newest version in the repository. I removed pdfcrop from the source and added a crop function for pdf2svg.

[wanglongqi]

Because pdfcrop is removed from the project. This issue is closed.
