tool that shows the same PDF coordinates as ghostscript uses

Show all headers | View raw

The PDF format takes the bottom left corner of a document to be the
origin (0,0). This makes it difficult to get coordinates for cropping
because Ghostscript's /CropBox command uses this coordinate
system. Consequently, the display command cannot easily be used to get
coordinates.

Is there a graphical tool that will directly give the /CropBox
coordinates for a selected region?

BTW, coordinates from the display command cannot be translated either,
because it finds a different page area geometry than the pdfinfo
command.
