Attached you find an example: example.pdf: a box generated with xfig 321mm x 106mm
example.ps generated with pdftops -paper A4 example.pdf example.ps:%%PageBoundingBox: 0 0 302 912 example-patched.ps generated with pdftops -paper A4 example.pdf, but with the patched version. example-patched.ps:%%PageBoundingBox: 158 0 437 842 You can view the postscript files with gv and select BBox. It's obvious that the unpatched PageBoundingBox is totally wrong, because source coordinates are used. The PageBoundingBox is bigger then the A4 paper format. It's just the size of the original box (302 /72 dpi * 25,4mm = 106,5mm; 912/72 dpi * 25,4mm = 321,73mm). But it must be the box scaled down to A4 and shifted to the center. Hope this example helps.
