PdfBoxEditor
Edit, view, and inspect PDF boxes. For PDF experts and desktop users.
The correct setting of PDF boxes is crucial for everyone working
with PDF documents: When you create, distribute or process PDF
files, the MediaBox and the CropBox are the fundamental regions
for display and print. When you prepare PDF documents for
professional printing projects, you will also take special care
that the BleedBox and the TrimBox are defined correctly - and
sometimes you will even need the ArtBox. If you are a PDF
professional working with PDFs from numerous sources, you will
have to inspect all incoming files for their boxes and many of
them will need corrections or additions of misdefined boxes.
I bought your PdfBoxEditor. It’s easy and fast to use – compared
to Acrobat.
PdfBoxEditor provides you a handy and powerful tool for editing,
viewing and inspecting PDF boxes. Some typical tasks include:
Before you submit your project to a printing company, you
should thoroughly check if all required boxes are present in
your press-ready PDF and if they align correctly with the
printer’s marks.
When you receive PDF files for further processing, you have to
get an overview of the boxes defined by other authors. In case
of missing or misaligned boxes, you will have to correct the
settings and copy them to all applicable pages.
Before you distribute your PDF documents, reassure that no
confidential data is contained outside the visible area
defined by the CropBox.
You have got PDF documents with printer’s marks but without
PDF boxes. Simply add the missing boxes - e.g. the TrimBox -
and use the guides in the PDF preview to quickly and precisely
align the box with the printer’s marks.
Your PDF document has white margins which you would like to
reduce for printing or display on a mobile device. Create a
CropBox around the relevant page area and copy the box
settings to all other pages.
