Hi Scott et al., 

I just saw that Wilfried reverted my patch for PDF graphics conversion, since it apparently fails under WinXP.  Unfortunately, his fix of using convert -crop 0x0 doesn't work for me, and all of my PDF graphics are screwed up again.  I'm using ImageMagick 6.3.4 and GhostScript 8.60 prerelease, both from May 2007.  Does anyone else have this problem?   Using gs directly works fine on Mac OS X and Linux.

As far as I could tell last time I looked at this, ImageMagick reads the /MediaBox instead of the /CropBox of the PDF file, then composites the ghostscript output to a bitmap of the media box size.  I posted an example PDF at <http://homepage.mac.com/amaxwell/.cv/amaxwell/Sites/.Public/SequimBayBathymetry.pdf-zip.zip>.

thanks, 
Adam
