CROP doesn't work

Post by cnbflor1a »

I am running PDF-Xchange Pro ver. 2.5 (build 211.0) and PDF Editor Pro ver.3.0 (build 306.1) on 2 different Windows 7 Pro PC’s. I cannot get any of the CROP features to work on either machine. Is there any required switch(s), Preference(s) or anything that I have overlooked to allow CROP to work?

Hi cnbflor1a

thanks for the post. There is nothing special required. All you need to do is select Document --> Crop Pages and make your settings there.

There are actually 4 different 'boxes' that are accessed here, Crop, Bleed, Trim and Art boxes. If you select "Crop Box" from the drop down list then grab the corners of the box in the preview the black box becomes active and you can drag the corners to suite the crop you want.

Do note that cropping a PDF does not actually remove the cropped content, by specification it merely redefines what is visible.

I hope that helps.
Best regards
