It seems reasonable to assume the same for pdf as for dvi: The origin is not moved by \magnification, i.e. the behaviour when producing pdf and dvi is the same. This would mean that rc2 is buggy.
More food for thought: The TeXbook on p.60 says: ----------------------- \ddanger Magnification is actually governed by \TeX's ^|\mag| primitive, which is an integer parameter that should be positive and at~most~32768. The value of\/ |\mag| is examined in three cases: (1)~just before the first page is shipped to the |dvi| file; (2)~when computing a |true| dimension; (3)~when the |dvi| file is being closed. Alternatively, some implementations of \TeX\ produce non-|dvi| output; they examine |\mag| in case~(2) and also when shipping out each page. Since each document has only one magnification, the value of\/ |\mag| must not change after it has first been examined. ----------------------- Best regards Martin -- Martin Schröder, ms@artcom-gmbh.de ArtCom GmbH, Lise-Meitner-Str 5, 28359 Bremen, Germany Voice +49 421 20419-44 / Fax +49 421 20419-10 http://www.artcom-gmbh.de
