[OS X TeX] Placing eps figures

[Claus Gerhardt]

George,

Use the modified script as a macro, which has the subroutine included.

Beware that you need in addition the shell script pdfselectc  
(downloadable from my tex page) which should be in
/Users/gratzer/Library/TeXShop/bin/pdfselectc

If you can't get it, I shall send it to you as an executable file  
separately.

The Applescript will probably not run in TS 2.10beta because of some  
bug in the beta version.

Claus


--AppleScript
-- Apply only to an already saved file
-- Claus Gerhardt, June 2006
(*The script extracts a pdf page, then  transforms it  to a ps file  
which will be opened in Illustrator.

Important: If  the name Preview in the last command is still present,  
then it has to be replaced by the name of your Illustrator application.

Run the script when either the tex file or the pdf file is front most  
in TeXShop.

-- In the first dialog enter the papersize (a4, letter or any other  
standard size)
-- In the following dialog enter your selection of pages like
-- 3:4,6,8:12 This would be the selection for one output file
-- It would contain the pages 3-4, 6, and 8-12
