[Mac OS X TeX] TEX -> EPDF?

The \newpage is irrelevant, and you should probably suppress the
blank spaces created from the end of lines, after a '}'.

e.g.   \setlength{\parindent}{0cm}%
                                  ^----  suppresses end-of-line token

What do you find is going wrong ?

I'd guess that \pdfinfo{/Subject (#1)}  is rather dangerous,
as any active tokens within the #1 would not expand into the text
of their name.

Instead, you'll need something more intricate, such as:

{\let\zz\catcode
 \zz`m=12 \zz`a=12  \zz`c=12 \zz`r=12 \zz`o=12
 % avoid the letters  m a c r o  in the name of this next macro
 \gdef\stipening macro:->#1@@!@@{#1}
}
\def\shipoutpdf#1{%
  \bgroup \def\tmp{#1}%
    \edef\tmpinfo{/Subject (\expandafter\stipening\meaning\tmp@@!@@)}%
    % \show\tmpinfo
    \expandafter\pdfinfo\expandafter{\tmpinfo}%
  \egroup
  ....  other stuff here ....
}

Test:   \shipoutpdf{$ \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \gamma^2 $}

Try the above.
