Hi,
The option -dEPSCrop (to make gs respect the BoundingBox when writing to PDF
or JPEG for instance) doesn't seem to work on GPL Ghostscript. Here is a
minimal example:
~/temp>cat a.ps
%!PS-Adobe-2.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 100 100
0 0 moveto 100 100 rlineto stroke
showpage
~/temp>gs -q -dEPSCrop -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=a.pdf
-c save pop -f a.ps
~/temp>strings a.pdf | grep MediaBox
<</Type/Page/MediaBox [0 0 612 792]
I do realize that the PS file above is not an EPS. Yet this option also worked
for PS files with AFPL gs and then ESP gs. Besides, a search for "crop" on
http://ghostscript.com/doc/7.07/Use.htm
yielded only the EPS case.
This missing option is really problematic for me. As a publisher, I used it in
many varied situations. I hope you can make it work soon!
Best regards,
Sébastien.
