[pdftex] Double MediaBox in pdflatex output

[Altmann, Michael]

Hi,

when preparing PDF files for a printing house, a bleed box has to be 
included in the file, and the media box has to be increased 
appropriately. If I supply a custom MediaBox with \pdfpageattr, the 
MediaBox appears twice in the pdf output. It is easy to remove one 
MediaBox manually, but this is error prone.

I've created a minimal example:

\documentclass{article}

\pdfcompresslevel 0

\pdfpageattr{

/MediaBox [-8.50394 -8.50394 603.77953 850.39370]^^J

/BleedBox [-8.50394 -8.50394 603.77953 850.39370]^^J

/CropBox [0 0 595.27559 841.88976]^^J

/TrimBox [0.00000 0.00000 595.27559 841.88976]

}

\begin{document}

Some text.

\end{document}


pdflatex yields:

Is this a bug or do I miss something? Is there a way to suppress the 
first MediaBox?

Thanks & BR
