How to Crop PDF File

Before we explain how to crop pdf files, it’s better to define some boxes in pdf files which is important to know. we will need these boxes when we “Set page boxes” in crop command.

• The “Bleed box” should be around 3 to 5 mm larger than the trim box.

• The “Trim box” defines the dimension of the finished page, this box is more important than “Crop box” because it defines the actual pdf size which will be printed.

• “Crop box” marked out the limit which will be displayed or printed in the pdf file.

• the “Art box” indicates the specific area in the page.

you should pay attention, the size of “Trim box” and “Art box” windows could be equal but none of them shouldn’t be larger than “Bleed box”.
