Acrobat PRO not showing full page content

[Baxendell]

This illustrtes the issue i'm having, if i select the page, it shows the real edge of the page, but i cant see it

How do i fix this?

Thank you

This is not the size of the page, but of the scanned image in contains. Unfortunately, the page size was not scaled to fit the image, or the other way around, when the file was created. You can try and fix it by changing the page boxes, via Tools - Set Page Boxes.

Thank you for your answer, so why do i see the full image when i open the attached file in gmail? (From where it came originally)

It probably uses different logic as to what page box to display. Hard to say without seeing the actual file...

Thanks again for the prompt answer

Hello @Baxendell

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out.

As suggested by our Community product expert, without seeing the file, it will not be possible to tell why the scanned PDF/image file has a background color (blue tint) and margins that extend beyond the visible content.

If you have Acrobat Pro, you can run Optimize PDF or Enhance Scans to clean up background colors and straighten the page. 

Thanks,

Hello Anand, thanks for your input, to clarify, the blue area is just the selection, which is showing the real margins of the page, that i cannot see in Acrobat Pro
