Crop Pdf in specific size

[nikleon71]

Hi to everyone,

I try to find an automatic way ( not the manual in acrobat) to crop a pdf in a specific size lets say for example trimbox plus 3mm, this have to be done with an acrobat or Callas fix, you have any idea how to make a setup?

Video in link shows how to create an automation macro using specialized software for digital print and reprographics providers.

Sorry, don't know how to do these in Acrobat or Callas.

Hi @nikleon71 ,

With a callas pdfToolbox Fixup, you can crop a PDF based on any reference, for example a Page Box, or a coordinates based on page origin.
In your case, you can use the Trimbox center as a reference, and add 3mm to all sides.
The Fixup you're looking for is "Set page geometry boxes".
In pdfToolbox 15 the settings could look like this:

Just import this profile to your preflights in Acrobat. Change the .txt extension to .kfp first.

It's good that you find your way. Allow me for completeness to mention that PitStop also allows you to modify page boxes in a blink.
You would ask Crop box to fit the Trim box then extend.

We (Artworker) have just developed a new tool that allows you to resize artwork and update bleed in a couple of clicks - We're looking for some testers if you'd like to try it.
