The pdftops filter should use the media or crop box as the page size for printing

Currently (based on xpdf 2.03, I think), the pdftops filter uses the
page size configured as default in the printer's PPD or some internal
default if no PPD is available. The page size information contained
in the PDF itself is completely ignored.

Instead, the filter should use the crop box or, if that isn't specified,
the media box (imilar to the option "-paper match" of xpdf's pdftops
utility 3.00.

Reassigned to CUPS 1.2.

The current behavior is to center or fit (depending on the state of the fitplot option) the page on the currently selected media size; if no media size is available (bad or missing PPD), then a "universal" size (intersection of Letter and A4) is used as a default.

We will be adding support for auto-page-sizing in CUPS 1.2, along with more advanced options for scaling/offsetting/rotation. However, given that the PDF format is very limited in the job options that can be expressed, you may not get the media size you expect, i.e. CUPS will need to guess at the correct PageSize or CustomPageSize based on the file and the options you have provided...
