PDF Page Box Considerations
• The PDF Boxes allow you to perform an “automated crop” by
using a box defined within the PDF, rather than tailoring a
workflow specific to an input document type. You can use the
PDF boxes to meet specific job requirements—for example,
the PDF Art Box can represent document fold lines.
• The PDF Media box option is not supported in imposition, but
you can create an equivalent during imposition via the Paper
Stock setting. The PDF Media Box describes the whole area of
the PDF document including gutters and trim areas. All other
box definitions are sub-areas of the media box. It is not
changeable by the user and is established when the PDF
document is created.
• The Trim, Bleed and Art boxes must be smaller than the Crop
Box. Box edges defined in the input document that are beyond
the corresponding crop box edge are limited to the crop box
edge during imposition.
• You can select which of the four supported PDF boxes to be
used for positioning and autofit. Note that the PDF page is not
clipped by the selected box unless margins are applied.
Enabling autofit will cause the selected box to scale to fit the
sheet cell it is being imposed into. PDF page data may bleed
outside of the selected box into any sheet cell waste-
space created during autofit scaling as long as it does not
intrude into a neighboring imposition cell.
• Bleeds beyond the selected PDF box are disabled if any
margins are applied.
• From the perspective of downstream workflow components,
page size in the output document is the selected paper stock
upon which the input document is imposed.
PDF Page Box Limitations
• There is no support for Media Boxes.
• Bleed, Trim, and Art boxes must be smaller than or equal to
the defined Crop box.
• Box offsets in the input document do not carry over into the
imposed output document – all offsets are set at 0 in the
output document.
• You can make PDF box definitions unique on a page-by-page
basis. Asymmetric imposition results occur if these definitions
are not consistent throughout the document.
