The original problem is that in some cases pdftops writes PageBoundingBox comments that are completely wrong and point to empty space at the lower left of the page instead of to the image. The bad comments confuse applications that process the postscript.</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I added Adrian Johnson's patch and a PDF test file to the bug report at <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87161" target="_blank">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87161</a> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">so that they don't get lost.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Is there anything blocking Adrian's patch from being accepted?
