Ok, I'll test with the patch, which I've just downloaded and read some of.
But I must tell you, I have never applied a patch (I gather "applied" is the
right word). Could you point me to a dependable instruction document?
Meanwhile, I'll hold off importing a newer version. Thanks for your help!

[same, later]
I'm using Debian 'lenny' and 'patch' 2.5.9-5, have copied
'/usr/bin/pdfedit'
and 'crop_box-sync_with_media_box.patch' an into isolated subdirectory
/usr/bin/PatchTest, and have cd'd there. Running --
patch pdfedit crop_box-sync_with_media_box.patch
by itself yields errors. Can you tell me which 'patch' options (especially
the '-p' number) I should be using?
Thanks
