Oops; that was a silly slip-up.
Thanks for finding it.

I'd never actually got around to testing with a .pdf .
Trying to sort out the various transformations took up
a lot of time, before realising that it isn't possible
to handle all combinations of options correctly.

Besides, there's no warning generated.
(Hmm; I suppose  .PDF  should also be checked-for,
else this will be done using  \picfile .)

  's' ?  Won't a simple <return> suffice ?

I've checked with your example, but I don't get this problem.

Wait on, I *do* get it with   \usepackage{graphics}
but *not* with   \usepackage{graphicx}
                                     ^---------  here !

The driver was built for the more flexible options of
the  graphicx  package.


Thanks for reporting this complication.


Cheers

	Ross
