[OS X TeX] An alternative to LateXIt; croppdf

[Claus Gerhardt]

Attached is a script and two shell scripts. The script croppdf should  
be saved a TeXShop macro.

(*Use this script to crop the pdf file corresponding to  a tex file in  
TeXShop.

Create a template that will show only the typed text when typeset  
containing the command \thispagestyle{empty}. Type the text, formulas  
etc, that you want and make sure that the formulas are not tagged.  
Then run the script preferrably as a TS macro.

The cropped output will then be pasted to the clipboard.

Note that the script uses Heiko Oberdieck's perl script pdfcrop and  
the shell script croppdf  which should both be saved in ~/Library/ 
Flashmode/bin.

*)

Below is an example.
