You are obviously using the pdf shell script backend. 
In the section containing the user settable parameters there is a line

_gsopt=" -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -sPAPERSIZE=a4"

chamge it to

_gsopt=" -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress"

Thus the media size will be determined by the appropriate statements in
the original 
PS job or, if those are missing, by the defaults inserted by the pstops
filter.
