In eaf: Plots of the Empirical Attainment Function

Remove whitespace margins from a PDF file (and maybe embed fonts)

Description

Remove whitespace margins using https://ctan.org/pkg/pdfcrop and optionally embed fonts using grDevices::embedFonts(). You may install pdfcrop using TinyTeX (https://cran.r-project.org/package=tinytex) with tinytex::tlmgr_install('pdfcrop').

Usage

pdf_crop(
  filename,
  mustWork = FALSE,
  pdfcrop = Sys.which("pdfcrop"),
  embed_fonts = FALSE
)

Arguments

filename	Filename of a PDF file to crop. The file will be overwritten.
mustWork	If TRUE, then give an error if the file cannot be cropped.
pdfcrop	Path to the pdfcrop utility.
embed_fonts	(logical(1)) If TRUE, use grDevices::embedFonts() to embed fonts.

Details

You may also wish to consider extrafont::embed_fonts() (https://cran.r-project.org/package=extrafont).

library(extrafont)
# If you need to specify the path to Ghostscript (probably not needed in Linux)
Sys.setenv(R_GSCMD = "C:/Program Files/gs/gs9.56.1/bin/gswin64c.exe")
embed_fonts("original.pdf", outfile = "new.pdf")

As an alternative, saving the PDF with grDevices::cairo_pdf() should already embed the fonts.

Value

Nothing
