Hi Hans, > I've noticed a suggestion in the "Problems with .PDFPIC caused by > pdfinfo" thread to use awk instead of sed.
The original also uses grep(1) and sed(1) when sed could do the grepping. This shows how it can be done with awk(1). $ pdfinfo foo.pdf | > awk '/^Page size:/ {print ".nr pdf-wid (p;"$3")"; print ".nr pdf-ht (p;"$5")"}' .nr pdf-wid (p;595) .nr pdf-ht (p;842) $ Hope that's some help. -- Cheers, Ralph.
