A little print know-how
Good files.
Better results.
A few things to check before you send your job to the printer.
Read the Crop guideKeep a production original
A clean review copy may omit bleed needed later. Choose the crop target for the next step in the workflow.
Check source box definitions
A trim-box crop depends on the PDF’s trim data. If the box is missing, it cannot infer the intended cut from the artwork.
What is the difference between Trim box and Bleed box?
Trim box describes the finished piece. Bleed box includes the extra artwork beyond that cut; cropping to it keeps that extension.
Can I remove the same margin from every edge?
Yes. Choose Margins and enter the amount to crop off each side.
Does cropping resize the artwork?
It changes the page boundary instead of scaling the artwork. Use Resize when you want the content to become physically larger or smaller.
Can I use cropping to securely remove confidential content?
No. Cropping is a page-layout operation, not redaction. Use a dedicated redaction workflow for confidential material.
Keep your job moving
The right tool for the next step.
Add Bleed
Extend artwork past the trim so cuts never show white. The finished size does not change.
Resize
Every page to a standard size, or scaled by a percentage — proportions kept unless you say otherwise.
Crop Marks
Trim and registration marks placed from the page boxes. The sheet grows just enough to hold them.
