I am just opening this issue to be notified if macOS ever gets supported.

BTW: Have you seen https://www.willus.com/k2pdfopt/? It's pretty good, though I mostly use it for non-mathy PDFs. It doesn't play that well with equations that take multiple vertical lines.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with macOS at all (and have no plans to change that). However, since krop is written in python, there is a chance that it might just work on macOS provided that PyQt and the other required libraries are available. How you done any experiments and found anything that is preventing krop from working on macOS?

Thank you for pointing out k2pdfopt! It looks quite impressive!

This issue title is ironic for me, because I found krop while looking for a replacement for a Linux replacement the built-in Preview.app on macOS. It has excellent cropping and general PDF functionality that preserves original quality for my typical workflow:

  1. open a pdf in Preview
  2. select a region
  3. edit > copy
  4. file > new from clipboard (opens a new window)
  5. repeat 1-3 for other regions
  6. show page thumbnails in document sidebars in the newly created document windows
  7. drag page thumbnails between window sidebars to create one merged document with the cropped regions as pages
  8. save or print, etc.

As far as I can tell, there's no other software for any platform that allows this workflow in such a concise way.
