Page Offset

Page Offset is the easiest way to move page content and is the default mode in Edit Page. Page Offset simultaneously adjusts both the crop box and the trim box in a way that complies with PDF rules about the sizes of these boxes.

Use the X and Y controls to shift the page content.

Crop Box and Trim Box

To enable either Crop Box or Trim Box, click the toggle button so that it appears green.

Enabled:

Disabled:

Select Margin or Size And Offset to make Crop Box and/or Trim Box adjustments.

The Crop Box defines the region to which the page contents are to be clipped. Acrobat uses this size for screen display and printing. The Trim Box defines the intended dimensions of the finished page. For most documents, by default, the crop box and trim box are equal in size.

When you enable either, Fiery JobMaster reads the crop box and trim box information from the file. The crop box frame is indicated by a line of dashes. The trim box frame is indicated by a line of dashes and dots.

Margin

In the example below, content on page 4 needs to be moved to the right to allow a hole-punch on the left of the page. Trim Box is adjusted to move the left margin further to the left with a -0.5 in value and move the right margin to the left with a 0.5 in value. These adjustments effectively push the page content to the right and create more blank space for the hole-punch on the left side of the page.

Size And Offset

When Crop Box has been enabled, Size And Offset gives the ability to customize Crop Box by either selecting a standard sheet size or specifying the Width and Height of Crop Box. Left and Top are used to specify the distance between the left side and the top of Trim Box in relation to the Crop Box. When Trim Box has been enabled, the page's Trim Box can be customized by specifying Width and Height.

In the example below, Crop Box and Trim Box initially have the same size, 8.5 in by 11 in. With 0.5 in left offset for Crop Box, the Crop Box is moved to the right by 0.5 inch. Because Trim Box stayed in the same position, the Trim Box is reduced by 0.5 inch on the left and is now 8 in by 11 in.

For a job that requires hole-punch finishing on the top edge, the user has entered a negative value in the Top field for Trim Box (see example below). The Trim Box size is maintained, but the content has been moved down, providing more space for the hole-punch. Note that the Predefined Crop Size option is not enabled, but the user can change the values in the Width and Height fields.
