Severity: normal

Hello,

I'm exporting images from Inkscape to EPS format, then using ps2pdf so
that they can be incorporated into a pdflatex document.  The problem
that I am having is this:

ps2pdf ignores the %%BoundingBox property in the header of EPS fiels.
The result of this is that when one views the PDF file, it takes up a
coomplete US Letter page.  This makes it unusable as a figure inside a
document.

The current workaround is to edit the EPS file and copy the details of
the BoudingBox, then open the PDF file in an editor, go to the near the
end and re-insert the correct value for the ``MediaBox'' array.  In all
PDFs converted from EPS, this array is always set to the dimensions of a
US Letter page ([0 0 612 792]).

It would be most helpful to _not_ have to go through this for every
figure I'm creating :-).  Many thanks in advance for your time and help,

best regards,
