Hi, 

(since his name is in teh docs i'm sure that george white know the anser to
this question -)

when my collegue was distilling a 4 meg eps cmyk picture he got a 18 meg
pdf file or 6 meg when downsampling, since i expect a smaller file, i tried
ps2pdf on my machine and surprise: the image is now just over 2 meg [they
all look the same in acrobat and all report the same size and depth

however, "ps2pdf somefile.eps somefile.pdf" results in a file with a a4
boundingbox, so: what is the magic switch that lets this nice converter
honor the boundinbox? 

Hans
