Grep failed? about pdfscale HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi there!
Sorry for the late answer.

Yes, that is kind of normal. What happens is that some PDFs do not have a MediaBox definition on its main container. On those cases the GREP method for getting the original page size will fail.

As you can see, the grep method failed and then it tried mdls and succeeded.

That is the main reason I created the "adaptive method" for getting the page size. So, unless you are forcing a method of detection, you are using adaptive and it should failsafe to one of the other methods. On MacOS it will try to use mdls which reads the metadata from Spotlight and should always work (unless the file was just created and the system has not yet created the metadata for it).

In any case, if it says: Final Status: File created successfully, you should have no problems.

Cheers!
Gus
