By "bounding box," I mean the "page bounding box" that Ghostscript returns when you run: gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -q -r72 -sDEVICE=bbox -f filename.pdf > Btw. do you want this to be automatical?

How can I obtain a list all text and graphic objects on a given page? How do I call getBBox on them?
