Checking Trim and Bleed sizes in files with signature panels

  • January 3, 2019

I have a 52 page supplied PDF that includes signature panels.  Normally to check trim and bleed sizes I use the print production tools and Set Page Boxes to check those dimensions, but they are greyed out on files with Signature Panels. 

Is there a work around?

    The script returns:

    Page 1 has a width of 612 and a height of 792

    true

    On an 8.5 inch by 11" page size.   How can the results be made to return inches?

    Can the Crop and trim sizes be compared to see if they are equal or not?


    Divide the values by 72.

    I'm assuming you have Acrobat, even though you posted in the Reader forum...

    You can do it using a script. For example, this code will return the dimensions of the Crop box of the first page in the file:

    this.getPageBox("Crop", 0);

    Apple Script? or?  How do I get both Bleed and trim sizes?

    JavaScript. Replace "Crop" in the code above with "Bleed" or "Trim" to get those other boxes.
