Lightbulb Success with Linux live CD, Trouble with Crop Box
Hi,
I tried this on Windows XP SP2 and found that the Windows version cuts images in two. Then I fiddled around to get the original package running on XP without success.
Depressed I started what I wanted to avoid and tried a Linux live CD, namely Puppy Linux 4.0 together with its development environment since I had to compile and install some packages missing in the distribution like the Python Image Library and others.
This was not too difficult since you always get a good hint where you are currently stuck :-)
In the end it worked out fine and I think this might be an alternative for Windows and MacOS users. If anybody is interested I could add the details in another post.

Only one thing still itches me in the Linux Version: I couldn't get pdftoppm to not ignore my crop box inside the input pdf file. Funny enough, pdftoppm treats crop boxes right in the Windows version??

Greetings,
hansl
