我正在尝试删除以下 PDF 文件上的巨大边距，以便每张纸打印两页：

当我跑步时：
$ pdfcrop FOAGaug1612public.pdf test.pdf
我得到以下输出：

答案1
错误消息显示，纯 pdfTeX 格式生成失败。请尝试
fmtutil --byfmt pdftex
如果成功，那么你可以再试pdfcrop一次。否则，尝试更新 TeX 发行版，也许错误已经修复。
pdfcrop也可以不使用格式：
$ pdfcrop --ini FOAGaug1612public.pdf test.pdf
该文件FOAGaug1612public.pdf包含无内容的页面，这会导致一些警告，并且xref表格中某些条目不正确。而且该文件是由 LaTeX 生成的，包含大量溢出\hboxes。除此之外，您应该会得到一个裁剪过的test.pdf。
