22
2 perry 23 __epstopdf__ transforms the Encapsulated !PostScript file
1 perry 24 ''epsfile'' so that it is guaranteed to start at the 0,0
25 coordinate, and it sets a page size exactly corresponding to
2 perry 26 the !BoundingBox. This means that when Ghostscript renders
27 it, the result needs no cropping, and the PDF !MediaBox is
1 perry 28 correct. The result is piped to Ghostscript and a PDF
29 version written.
