I believe this is because writing to the root directory is no longer permitted. I've tried various combinations of "with administrator privileges" and "sudo " suffixes and prefixes on the command to no avail.
I would appreciate knowing that this problem would be fixed in a future update.
I can invoke the script in the terminal and will generate a bash script to handle the parameters. I prefer an AppleScript because it is easier to "drag and drop" a file onto an AppleScript (and impossible to do so with a shell script).
In the meantime, thanks for making this script available!
I am trying to invoke the command via an AppleScript on macOS 10.15.x
''' .... (set up the script) ... do shell script '"/Library/TeX/texbin/pdfcrop --margins '72 0 72 0' (source file path here)" '''
The script fails with the error below.
!!! Error: Cannot write tmp file `tmp-pdfcrop-NNNNN.tex' (Read-only file system)!
