Comment # 10 on bug 908624 from Johannes Meixner

I think the DSC values are not correct in print-job-data_132.save.

print-job-data_132.save contains
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 595 842
%%PageBoundingBox: 0 0 311 542
%%PageBoundingBox: 0 0 317 548
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ghostscript shows the actual BoundingBox values for the two pages:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# gs -sDEVICE=bbox -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE print-job-data_132.save

%%BoundingBox: 142 149 453 692
%%BoundingBox: 138 147 456 695
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I change the BoundingBox values in print-job-data_132.save
as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%%BoundingBox: 138 147 456 695
%%PageBoundingBox: 142 149 453 692
%%PageBoundingBox: 138 147 456 695
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
then the CUPS printing option fit-to-page works for this file.

I.e. the BoundingBox values in the PostScript are wrong.
The PostScript is created by pdftk:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# grep Creator print-job-data*save
print-job-data_131.save:%%Creator: pdftk 2.02 - www.pdftk.com
print-job-data_132.save:%%Creator: pdftk 2.02 - www.pdftk.com
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to my analysis it means:
Printing of certain PDF files does not work with "fit-to-page"
because of wrong BoundingBox values in the PostScript
that is created by "pdftk 2.02".

Therefore it seems to be a bug in "pdftk 2.02" (or in whatever
helper-tool or library that is used by pdftk to crate PostScript).

Stefan Brandner,
I think you should submit a new bug report for pdftk.
