Hi Stefan,

Thanks for posting on the Adobe forums.

You are working on an Artboard. Please choose Document Type > US paper. You would be able to use crop tool.

Regards,

Sandeep

On CC2017 the new document dialogue has changed.

The Photo :  Print :  Art/Illustration or Fil/Video options do not have "artboards" checked.

The paper sized options are in "Print"

Hi Fenja, thanks for the link, i already read the article before posting my question. The reason is i could use the crop tool sometimes with artboards and sometimes, not. The discussion doesn't mention this. Here you can see. An image using an artboard where the crop tool is available:
