It is already set to A4.

I get a perfectly A4-sized .pdf (as I do when using Export -> PDF), but
there are no hyperreferences.

This script is great!
It creates hyperref'ed PDFs in the correct size (and offers even more).
:)
Many thanks for this link!

Being too excited about tex2pdf, I've already sent a mail to
tex2pdf-devel(-at-)lists.berlios.de before realizing the last part of
your message.
I DO have the problem of a 90� rotated graphic. It is sometimes possible
to have it included correctly by setting the "missing" value to complete
a 360� rotation. Though, this doesn't always work (and I can't figure
out how why this isn't deterministic).
Could you point me to the thread on the list, please? (I've searched
through the list but really can't find it...)

I've tried to "epstopdf" the file manually (with the intent of including
the .pdf directly), but this already produces a rotated output.
"ps2pdf" produces a full-sized output file, which can't be used.

Unfortunately, I can't export to the .ps in another way, as it is
created by a tool automatically.

Cheers,
Max
