Details:

When .PDFPIC is used it calls to pdfinfo piped to grep to determine the
dimensions of the pdf. However when the pdf contains an image grep fails to
parse the date giving the following error.


Binary file (standard input) matches


Allowing grep to process Binary files seems to fix the issue. Below is the
patch.


diff --git a/tmac/pdfpic.tmac b/tmac/pdfpic.tmac
index 0400c1cf..4bc6f03b 100644
--- a/tmac/pdfpic.tmac
+++ b/tmac/pdfpic.tmac

 .\" get image dimensions
 .  ec @
 .  sy pdfinfo @$1 | \
-grep "Page *size" | \
+grep -a "Page *size" | \
 sed -e 's/Page *size: *\\([[:digit:].]*\\) *x *\\([[:digit:].]*\\).*$/\
 .nr pdf-wid (p;\\1)\\n\
 .nr pdf-ht  (p;\\2)/' \


Should be a relatively easy fix.
