Cropped PDF still comes in at letter size

May 15, 2012 3:13 PM

I have a PDF that will print 6 x 9. The client exported to PDF at letter size. No big deal. I open PDF, crop, save. I use import multipage PDF script and the file is coming in at 8.5 x 11. I can change the page size no trouble but now my picture boxes are still 8.5 x 11. It there a way to crop a PDF so the file is actually 6x9 so it imports properly.

When you ran the script, did you tell it to crop to the Crop box instead of Media in the placement options section in the lower right?

There's no such option in the script I have. You open script, tell it what page to start on and away it goes.

Yeah. I think Peter (not you) whose last name escapes me created this script which has served me well over the years.
