D'oh... scrap this. Mea culpa máxima! (It's too late at night I made an error.) Of course pdfinfo is right in reporting the values it does, and podofopdfinfo is wrong. "Page size" is not defined at all in the PDF spec, and it says this in its definition of "crop box": +------------------------------------------------------------+ | A rectangle, expressed in default user space units, that | | shall define the region to which the contents of the page | | shall be clipped when output in a production environment. | +------------------------------------------------------------+ Therefor it is quite reasonable what pdfinfo reports as "page size" for the example PDF. Sorry for the noise. |

Created attachment 65133 [details] 1-page PDF with CropBox different from MediaBox Attached is a 1-page PDF which uses... ... a media box of 667x950 pt, accompanied by ... a crop box of 595x842 pt (no bleed-, trim- or art box specified). Yet pdfinfo reports as "page size" a value of 595x842 pt (when it should be 667x950 pt, or not?) The value pdfinfo calculates here is the width and height of the trim box, not the page size.... pdfinfo -box my-cropped.pdf Producer: GPL Ghostscript 9.05 CreationDate: Sun Aug 5 01:35:27 2012 ModDate: Sun Aug 5 01:35:27 2012 Tagged: no Form: none Pages: 1 Encrypted: no Page size: 595 x 842 pts (A4) Page rot: 0 MediaBox: 0.00 0.00 667.00 950.00 CropBox: 0.00 0.00 595.00 842.00 BleedBox: 0.00 0.00 595.00 842.00 TrimBox: 0.00 0.00 595.00 842.00 ArtBox: 0.00 0.00 595.00 842.00 File size: 8494 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.4 A 'competitor' to pdfinfo, podofopdfinfo, reports the expected value: podofopdfinfo D my-cropped.pdf Document Info ------------- File: my-cropped.pdf PDF Version: 1.4 Page Count: 1 Page Size: 667 x 950 pts Editing the PDF's *trim* box values to [667 950] yields the correct *page* size: [....] Page size: 667 x 950 pts Page rot: 0 MediaBox: 0.00 0.00 667.00 950.00 CropBox: 0.00 0.00 667.00 950.00 BleedBox: 0.00 0.00 667.00 950.00 TrimBox: 0.00 0.00 667.00 950.00 ArtBox: 0.00 0.00 667.00 950.00 [....]
