For Crop to, specify how much of the PDF page to place:
•
Crop places the PDF only in the area that is displayed or printed by Adobe Acrobat.
•
Content places the PDF page’s bounding box, or the minimum area that encloses the
objects on the page, including page marks.
•
Art places the PDF only in the area defined by a rectangle that the author created as a
placeable artwork (for example, clip art).
•
Trim identifies the place where the final produced page will be physically cut in the
production process, if trim marks are present.
•
Bleed places only the area that represents where all page content should be clipped, if a
bleed area is present. This information is useful if the page is being output in a
production environment. Note that the printed page may include page marks that fall
outside the bleed area.
