Thanks. I tried these usepackage calls and got the following
BoundingBoxes:
\usepackage[total={16cm,16cm},margin=0cm]{geometry}
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 595 842
\usepackage[dvips,total={16cm,16cm},margin=0cm]{geometry}
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
\usepackage[dvips,total={16cm,20cm},margin=0cm]{geometry}
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
Switching to dvips did change the BoundingBox, but I still have no
control over it!
By the way, I've confirmed that I can control the BoundingBox in
ghostscript and Mac OS X Previewer, the sizes actually change in one
example. However, if I alter the bounding box in the page generated
by LaTeX/dvips, the size is not changed, so there must be something
overriding the BoundingBox! I deleted some lines that said it was a4
paper and that made no difference.
