Hello, some time ago already reported, there still exists a small problem with the .PDFPIC Macro. To get the size of an PDF image it is using the following command pipeline
. sy pdfinfo @$1 | \ grep "Page *size" | \ sed -e 's/Page *size: *\\([[:digit:].]*\\) *x *\\([[:digit:].]*\\).*$/\ .nr pdf-wid (p;\\1)\\n\ .nr pdf-ht (p;\\2)/' \ > /tmp/pdfpic\n[$$] For some reasons, which I don't know, pdfinfo puts some code in the output, so it seems for the following grep not to be an text file. Example: $ pdfinfo Tschukurowa_OSM.pdf | grep "Page *size" grep: (standard input): binary file matches but $ pdfinfo Tschukurowa_OSM.pdf | grep -a "Page *size" Page size: 928.403 x 484.45 pts I'm using OpenSuse Tumbleweed $ pdfinfo -v pdfinfo version 21.08.0 Copyright 2005-2021 The Poppler Developers - http://poppler.freedesktop.org Copyright 1996-2011 Glyph & Cog, LLC If you can see, adding -a to the grep command solves the problem. -a, --text Process a binary file as if it were text; this is equivalent to the --binary-files=text option. That said, the lines in pdfpic.tmac sould be: . sy pdfinfo @$1 | \ grep -a "Page *size" | \ ... regards Heinz
