Hi, the pdf- export is nearly unusable. Mathematica does not include the Mathematica fonts -- and fonts are a integral part of pdf's and the bounding box/crop box is always false. The combination distiller/Acrobat worked for me, together with the PNG-Export (that can pdflatex directly). Export[] and Display[] call both psrender to produce a pdf, so the core of the file is the same.
