Specifying the bounding box in the
separation
The bounding box is represented as a
light- gray rectangle surrounding the
artwork in the Color Separation Setup
preview window; this rectangle coin-
cides with the crop marks you set in
Adobe Illustrator.
The numbers in the Bounding Box text
boxes show where the image lies within
the page. These numbers measure the
distance from the 0, 0 point in the
imageable area to the edges of the
bounding box. When you save a file in
Adobe Illustrator, the ruler position is
saved with the file. Illustrator sets the
0, 0 point from this ruler origin. If you
do not change the ruler origin in Adobe
Illustrator, the 0, 0 point is in its default
position at the bottom left corner of the
page boundary.
If you select a different page size, the
Bounding Box numbers change as
Illustrator calculates the distance of
the bounding box from the edge of a
new page size.
