Viewing information outside of the crop box

A new feature in PDF 1.3 was the ability to define a document that has information beyond its final trim size. In the graphic industry, this information usually includes bleed, registration marks and other print and color control strips. Using the View Page Boxestool , you can easily preview the information outside of the final trim size of your document.

This information is defined in the application that was used to create the original PDF file, for example, Adobe InDesign or Quark XPress. Once they are made visible using PitStop Pro, these elements can be edited, added, or removed, just like any other graphic object.

Some PDF documents are generated without any bleed, registration marks or other print and color strips. When you click the View Page Boxes button for these documents, the page will appear the same (except for a thin trim line drawn at the edges of the image).

You can manually move and edit the page boxes in your document, using the Edit Page Boxes tool
