Hello!

I am trying to set the page size in a PostScript Document and it doesn't seem to work.
I found something that sets up this with :
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 5 5

but when i generate a PDF it doesn't seem to work.

Can anybody help me with this?

That bounding box is valid, but extremely small. 
The bounding box is not usually the same as the page size, and is
usually ignored in a print stream.

What is the exact problem you are trying to solve?

>I just want to set the page size.

For what? What is the PDF consumer? Is it Acrobat Distiller?

Yes, exactly.
Could that be the problem?

Ok...

The problem is that %%BoundingBox is a comment. It is usually ignored,
though if you create a completly DSC compliant EPS file it should not
be.

To set page size you would use the setpagedevice operator with the
PageSize key.

<< /PageSize [ width height ] >> setpagedevice
