(Sorry if this is the wrong list, I could not find a better one.)

I recently used texexec to select a given page from a file (attached) of
three pages:
  texexec --pdfselect --selection=2 --result=cover2-tx.pdf covers.pdf

It worked fine, but bnb noticed that the resulting cover2-tx.pdf was
different then the original: it is offset to the right by a pica or so,
and the "TUGboat" is moved down a similar amount.

When I extract the same page from the same file with gs:
  gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=cover2-gs.pdf \
     -dFirstPage=2 -dLastPage=2 covers.pdf -c quit 
the result is correct, i.e., the extracted page is identical (as far as
I can tell) to the original.

This happens with texexec 4.0 (and also with 2.8 and 3.1).

This is just FYI in case it's a bug you want to fix ...
