They look fine there. Could it have to do with the file being saved  
with \documentclass and \begin{document} lines? Here's the file- 
fig1.pdf for the first example below:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\input tmp.inputs
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(5,2)
\psframe[fillcolor=gray,fillstyle=solid,linecolor=gray](5,2)
\rput(2.5,1){\textbf{TEST}}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

> If they properly cropped but are large-ish figures you may have to

> you to ``force'' figures into a location.

They're not particularly large:

\begin{pdfpic}
\begin{pspicture}(5,2)
\psframe[fillcolor=gray,fillstyle=solid,linecolor=gray](5,2)
\rput(2.5,1){\textbf{TEST}}
\end{pspicture}
\end{pdfpic}



Even the original test file I was using did this. I get "1 Hallo       
Welt." on the first page. The second page has the figure and its  
caption.

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf%
   \usepackage{pdftricks}
   \begin{psinputs}
     \usepackage{pstricks}
   \end{psinputs}
\else
   \usepackage{pstricks}
   \newenvironment{pdfpic}{}{}
\fi
\begin{document}
\section{Hallo}
Welt.
\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\caption{The image, converted with \texttt{pdftricks}}
\begin{pdfpic}
   \begin{pspicture}(5,2)
     \psline{|<->|}(0,0.3)(4,1.9)
   \end{pspicture}
\end{pdfpic}
\end{figure}
\end{document}



Thanks!
Chris
