Since I'm running on Mac OS X, if I export to eps, the equivalent  
action would be to open up the eps file using Preview (the built-in  
pdf viewer) or TeXShop (the front end for typesetting LaTeX). Either  
of these will automagically convert the eps into a pdf of the correct  
size. So...

... the suggestion does help. Unfortunately, I then have to throw the  
eps file in the trash. Of course, I could write a script to do this  
after making the eps file, but it sure would be nice to make the pdf  
the right size in one pass.
