Saving a plot into pdf creates a full page pdf file

Yes, this is a bug and I'll look into it.

Hi I just experienced this issue (Mac OS X R2014b). Any update/workaround on this?

This is only way how I was able to get smaller papersize (but not working with eps):

set(gcf, 'PaperPosition', [0, 0, BoxDim(1), BoxDim(2)]);
set(gcf, 'PaperSize', BoxDim);
saveas(gcf, 'test', 'pdf');

I even tired print('-dpdf',..), but no luck.

And in the same time fixPSlinestyle corrupts resulting eps so Preview.app can not read it.

@brona, Unfortunately, fixPSlinestyle does not work with R2014b. Could you comment line # 866 and see if that fixes the issue?

Also, please open a new issue ticket for this (eps) problem.

@masumhabib Just found that .eps is generated correctly but Preview.app renders it wrong (Quick Look in Mac OS X too).
When using epstopdf (in LaTeX) images have correct size - Great! (But sill fixPSlinestyle has to be commented out).
