But it=E2=80=99s coming in with loads of white space around i= t. Although I=E2=80=99m new to ConTeXt, this reminds me of the old problem whe= re there are different types of =E2=80=98box=E2=80=99 specified in the PDF = file: one possibly specifying a paper size, others specifying perhaps the e= xtent of the marks described within. The PDF file contains these =E2=80=98b= ox=E2=80=99 lines: > /MediaBox [ 0.5 -0.5 612.5 791.5 ]=20 > /ArtBox [ 206.97998 316.0459 402.12988 477.66016 ]=20 > %%BoundingBox: 206 316 403 478 > %%HiResBoundingBox: 206.98 316.0459 402.1299 477.6602 > %AI3_TemplateBox: 306.5 395.5 306.5 395.5 > %AI3_TileBox: 30 35 582 761 > %%BoundingBox: 206 316 403 478 > %%HiResBoundingBox: 206.98 316.0459 402.1299 477.6602 > %%BoundingBox: 206 316 403 478 > %%HiResBoundingBox: 206.98 316.0459 402.1299 477.6602 > %AI3_TemplateBox: 306.5 395.5 306.5 395.5 > %AI3_TileBox: 30 35 582 761 > /FontBBox [ -167 -250 1006 939 ]=20 > /FontBBox [ -222 -250 1006 922 ]=20 To my untutored eye it looks like the MediaBox is being used - at least, th= e graphic takes up an area about Letter size. Is there some setting I=E2= =80=99ve missed that lets me get the bounds of the graphics rather than the= file? thanks!
