Public bug reported:
(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.
