[Texmacs-dev] TeXmacs Issues Inserting PDF Images

[David E. Miller]

There appears to be a problem with TeXmacs when inserting a PDF file as 
an image format:

1. Using the MS Windows version (1.0.7.18) the PDF image is inserted 
into the TeXmacs document, but the top and and right side of the image 
are chopped off slightly.

2. Using the Linux version (Ubuntu version 1.0.7.15) the file is not 
inserted at all. In fact, TeXmacs crashes when the PDF file name is 
selected/clicked using the pop-up file selection window accessed by 
Insert->Image->Insert image menu selection.

I would appreciate it if someone else would verify this issue and reply 
with feedback.

I was able to work around this issue by using the pdftops command on 
Linux to convert the PDF file to EPS and then import the resulting EPS file:

        pdftops -f 1 -l 1 -eps filename.pdf

The above command converted the PDF file  generated using the pdfcairo 
terminal of gnuplot to EPS which allows image insertion without any 
issues. This processing resulted in an export to PDF from TeXmacs with 
very good image quality.
