Moving Trims . Pdf created in Canva

Hi there.

Pdf created in Canva. (supplied by customer)

Is there a quick way to move these in adobe acrobat? (see attached, this screenshot is not from the actual file). I don't want to open the file in illustrator (for obvious reasons). I could do it in pitstop,
keeping in mind I have a very old version and I don't find it the easiest to use. I can easily move them as a whole but can't move one trim one way and the other trim the other.

I don't want to throw back to my customer. (Agony to get the file to the stage it is).

Any help much appreciated. thanks Simon

If you have Acrobat PRO there are SOME built in page description scripts.
May not be useful in this case.

Ah yes, Canva files for print shops - would we prefer Microsoft Publisher? LOL
 
Ok, I will spare the easy answer which is "Update PitStop" :)

That said, i think an easy way out would be to simply select those trims and remove them. Then add new trim marks based on your liking.
I am pretty certain even old versions of PitStop would help here.
 
could someone please write a pitstop preflight profile to fix this ridiculous behaviour from Canva, similar to the Just Fix my Office ! one would be great.
You get the Canva file and think yay:) I've got cmyk and Trim Marks but the Trim Marks are fat and sit one side of the Trim Box, and the Trim Box isn't centred usually a slightly odd integer size and not centred :(:mad::eek::cry:, for saddle stitched you're still expected to apply scaled creep to this poop.🥱

Thanks for the reply. Not sure I can update my version of pitstop. (just don't ask) Not without spending big bucks. I'll have a quick go in my Pitstop. ta Simon
 
I'll just leave this here from the GWG.

Indeed PitStop would help. There are the canned actions "Remove Printer Marks" an "Add Marks to Trim Box".
