(Simple solution, guaranteed from CS5 and up) When exporting layers using the export layers script and choosing a PNG-format (be it 8-PNG or 24-PNG), you have the option to 'trim' the image.



By deselecting this option Photoshop will no longer trim the transparant edges and keep your original document sizes. I know this is a late response but I hope this may still help others with issues similar to those of OP.

If this is a one time thing, you could try exporting to PSD and then batch converting those PSD files to PNG format. The Export Layers script does not trim transparent areas when exporting to PSD.

If you need to do this a lot, you could try modifying the script (it's a Javascript BTW), so that it does not trim transparent pixels when you're exporting to PNG format.

I did a quick search of the script for any lines referencing transparency, and believe the line in question is :

app.activeDocument.trim(TrimType.TRANSPARENT);


It occurs twice; once for PNG-8 and once for PNG-24. You should get the script to do what you want by duplicating it, renaming it, and simply removing both instances of that line.
