After running pdftops, you need to view the EPS with a program that is capable of showing all of the image and not only what is inside the area specified in the %%BoundingBox comment. In the screen capture, I used the unpatched pdftops 0.18.4 distributed with Fedora 17. I made both a PS and an EPS and then viewed them with "gv". gimp might not be a good test, because as far as I know, it does not natively support PDF, PS or EPS, and so it must rasterize them, and it probably rasterizes them to the size in the %%BoundingBox comment, which means that you will never see anything outside the crop box. gv allows you to override the %%BoundingBox comment. I selected a large size that I used for previewing broadsheet newspaper pages. pdftops crops PS. If you try this with my test PDF and then compare the PS and EPS files, the PS has the additional code 0.5 55 translate 7 16 417 1010 re W immediately before the %%EndPageSetup comment. My guess is that someone thought that it was not necessary to crop the EPS because application embedding the EPS on a page would always crop it to the size in the %%BoundingBox.
