Title: pdf2ps seems to get bounding box wrong Status in GS-GPL - GPL Ghostscript: Fix Released Status in “ghostscript” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: (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. I tried reporting this bug at bugs.ghostscript.com and their tracker said that if I got the ghostscript from Ubuntu, I should report it to you first.
