Another issue is that I am implementing a primitive requrested by Cho, to grab the BBox of an included pdf.
What's the purpose? The knowledge of width and height is important (graphicx, pdfpages, ...). By putting \pdfximage into a box these values are easily available (see pdftex.def). I would be interested, in which case the exact offset must be known.
there are users who want to use pdftex to produce dvi code and use dvipdfmx to produce the pdf; now that pdftex is the main tex engine, we need to address both audiences. (btw, this feature should therefore also work when pdfoutput=0) usually the numbers returned are directly passed into the special that dvipdfmx uses for inclusion Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
