Problem after splitting pages

Post by SBLESS »

Hi everyone
I have a problem after splitting a pdf in half. The full pdf has a black band tuning across the middle and graphics on top. There are also graphics below the black band. Once split, my action needs to change the media box 20mm on all sides, and the bleed box out 5mm on all sides. It works, except for the graphic below the black band. It does not end it at the bleed box it goes all the way to the media box. So works perfect except for one graphic.
Has anyone any ideas what could be the problem?

A bleed box does not "stop" an object. The only boxes that stop objects are the crop and the media boxes. I do not think it is a problem but something that can be perfectly explained but it will take the file to be able to tell.

Anyway, I think there are two possible approaches:
  • set the crop box to the bleed box
  • place a rectangle on the bleed box with "Add object", Select all, Make mask. That will place the topmost rectangle as a clipping path.
