Hi Stefan, I am a poppler user, not a popper maintainer. I can't push changes. Sorry.
Regards, William From: [email protected] To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Aw: RE: [poppler] Printing of certain PDF files does not work with "fit-to-page" because of wrong BoundingBox values in the PostScript Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2015 09:18:11 +0200 This printing problem appear at pdf files which are coming from scanner. Since years there are reports of this problem: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=97572 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=761487 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338456 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195719 We now found the root cause and have a fix. So if Albert has no time at all I wonder if you (William) can take over this solution and push it. As Martin Pahl wrote he is willing to support and explain his code.

That is, it must be a “high water mark” in all directions for marks made on any page. The four arguments correspond to the lower left ( llx , lly ) and upper right corners ( urx , ury ) of the bounding box in the default user coordinate system (PostScript units)." and gives an example where the BoundingBox is the smallest rectangle that covers the PageBoundingBoxes of the pages in the document. If you are worried about breaking things that depend on the current behavior of pdftops, would it work to add a command line option? pdftops already has -origpagesize and -nocrop options.

So if the code quality is ok for you Albert why not pushing it?
