[OS X TeX] An alternative to LateXIt; croppdf

[Claus Gerhardt]

Before running the script the tex file has to be typeset. Using  
Flashmode I tend to forget that this doesn't happen automatically in  
general.

Of course a typeset command could have been incorporated in the  
script, but this would be stupid, since only a verified pdf file  
should be cropped.
