Don: When one installs MiKTeX or TeXLive, one of the parameters that must be specified is the default papersize. I'd guess that information is available to programs like pmxab. Certainly dvips should be using that parameter without you "explicitly imposing" offsets. In MiKTeX, you can set the default papersize in the Settings wizard.
