Hi,
I am having trouble setting the PDF boxes to my desired dimensions. Suppose I have \setuppapersize[/a/][/b/]. I want CropBox = MediaBox =/ //b/. So far, so good: I can just use cropoffset=0mm in \setuplayout. But I want TrimBox = /a/. However, as far as I can see, I can't achieve this using trimoffset in \setuplayout unless (width of /b/) – (width of /a/) = (height of /b/) – (height of /a/), which does not hold in my case. So it looks like I need to find another way to set the TrimBox (and the BleedBox, which I want to be 3mm wider and taller than the TrimBox). Does anyone know how to do this?
Hi Jack, there seems to be a bug in ConTeXt (both in MkXL and MkIV). From this code: \setuplayout [cropoffset=15ex, trimoffset=20ex, bleedoffset=25ex, artoffset=30ex] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext I get the relevant code: /CropBox [ 0 0 595.2756 841.8898 ] /MediaBox [ 0 0 595.2756 841.8898 ] /TrimBox [ 0 0 595.2756 841.8898 ] I think it might be a bug that prevents this from working properly. (ArtBox is simply disabled.) Hans, could you check this? Many thanks for your help. Pablo PS: sorry for having changed the subject, Jack. It intends only to increase visibility about code that may need to be improved. -- http://www.ousia.tk
