I am working on some utilities that produce EPSF output, and noticed a
little gap in the EPSF spec. You can specify per-document font lists
and BoundingBoxes, and per-page fonts, but not per-page BoundingBoxes
- which is a pity if you want to pick out one page (using psrev or
equivalent) and include it as an ``illustration'' in another document,
or if you want to paste the logical pages of a document together in a
fancy way onto the real pages.
Has anybody done something about this? If there is no de facto
standard (and nothing from Adobe about it) I'll use the ``obvious''
solution of inventing a new comment "%%PageBoundingBox n n n n" to go
at the start of each page. (One of tools I'm working on does some page
arrangement, a la psrev and psnup, and that will of course understand
this.)
