Created attachment 8877 [details] The PDF file which converts incorrectly As requested by your bug form, this bug was originally reported downstream here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ghostscript/+bug/1035667 However, it was agreed that it was a legitimate bug and should be reported upstream. (Using Ubuntu Precise 12.04 LTS on a Thinkpad X220) The attached PDF, when viewed in evince, says in the Properties: Paper Size: 496x437mm That is correct. When I convert it to PS using: pdf2ps frame_base.pdf and then view the PS file in a text editor, it says at the start: %%BoundingBox: 0 0 595 842 I believe this is measured in points, where 1cm is 28 points, so this translates to 212mm x 301mm. Which is not the same. This is a problem because the "poster" program uses this info to try and work out how best to split it up into sheets for a poster, and one gets very weird results. A commenter on the downstream bug tried it on 9.06, and reported: "I tested your file with Ghostscript 9.06. The results are different, but still incorrect: %%BoundingBox: 0 0 1405 0 This line should read: %%BoundingBox: 0 0 1406 1239" Based on that, I am reporting it here. Gerv
commit: bfae0b91bbe273318284a01d67b746b365827bb6 should resolve this. The upper right y co-ordinate should now be correctly established. Also added the (non-standard but widely used) %%HiResBoundingBox comment.
Super - thank you :-) Gerv
