Since Adobe's standards are, um, not always fully specified, you have
to "read between the lines".  As I mentioned before, most applications
produce a bounding box comment, it *is* required for some variants
of the DSC (including the single page EPSF format), and it is the
*only* widely-implemented document comment that can be used to
properly position and scale pages when doing N-up or fit-to-page
output.  It is also required by the (still incomplete) CUPS standards
for PostScript documents.

If you have more complex requirements, then you'll just have to
generate your PS/PDF output accordingly and not use the CUPS-
provided number-up and fitplot options.
