Amend Page Box to Adjust Height Only

Post by St3ve »

Hello,

I am looking for help with an action to adjust a PDF page box by leaving whatever the width is and adjust the top to a defined amount.
IE. TrimBox is 1000mm x 3000mm. I resize the CropBox to the TrimBox. I then want to leave the width as is but anchor point being the top and adjust from the bottom to make the CropBox size, Width x 50mm. Thank You :)

If you look at Change Cropbox, you would find options for resizing. Just adapt the crop to the trim first, then resize with an offset:

I realize I set the left, but that might be the right side that you want to adjust. But you will get the idea.

Thank you for the reply, much appreciated but I think you may not be understanding what it is I need,

I need the Cropbox to be 50mm (not add 50mm or minus 50mm). The 50mm Cropbox needs to be amended by moving from the bottom up to the top (ie. Anchor point top). This can be done manually but I would like an Action to do this please.

I could have a PDF file at any size but I want to keep the width size as is and the Height of the cropbox to be 50mm.

Hope this is clearer.

Thanks

Hi
Then solution I see is:
Select all
Add Object > Rectangle (width>trimbox and height>50mm)
Select last added object
Save selection > dummy
Select all
Change crop box > adjust to selection
Restore selection > dummy
Remove selection

Thank you,

The cropbox has not changed but I suspect I need to change something in the settings. Please see screenshots.

Many Thanks
