My experience with pdfTeX under Unix (from before TeXshop arrived,
and subsequently) is that the  viewport = .... option
to \includegraphics  (from graphicx package) only works properly
in conjunction with the  'clip' option.

You must use (something like):

 \includegraphics[viewport= llx lly urx ury,clip]{myimage}

to get just the desired portion of the image showing.

If you omit the 'clip' then I think the intention is for the
whole image to show, allowing the rest of the text on the page to
overlay the image; but positioned so that the viewport region is
prominent.  (However, with large images, I've never seen this
working properly.)

With no bb= or viewport= or trim= then the default should be as before.
All size information needs to be deduced from the image file being
included. It should be only when you wish for something other than
this that things can go wrong in the LaTeX coding; or rather,
the TeX coding in graphicx.sty or pdftex.def .


Hope this helps,
