how to set PDF TrimBox ?
Hi, how can I set the /TrimBox values in PDF ? right now I use \setuppapersize[A4][B4] with \setuplayout[marking=color,...] and the print shop asks to set the /TrimBox to A4 (which right now is set to B4 paper format). obviously I can change that with pdftk/qpdf/sed/... in a nice shell-one-liner but I guess there is a more "context way" to achieve this? ;-) thanks, Harald -- "I hope to die ___ _____ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word.", 0--,| /OOOOOOO\ Donald E.

looking at the current context code I can't (without changing context). all boxes are set to identical values:-( for my current setup I'm using the following hardcoded hack below for now (only for one night;) what's the reason that the "BleedBox" wasn't output/set ? --- tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-mis.lua~ 2015-02-10 16:59:48.000000000 +0100 +++ tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-mis.lua 2015-05-20 22:29:57.044026611 +0200 @@ -346,9 +346,17 @@ boxvalue(width-leftoffset), boxvalue(pageheight-topoffset), } +-- 56.6929 79.37005 651.9685 921.25985 +-- 56.6929 79.3701 651.9685 921.2598 + local trimbox = pdfarray { -- can be cached + boxvalue(56.6929 * 65536. * 72.27 / 72.), + boxvalue(79.37005 * 65536. * 72.27 / 72.), + boxvalue(651.9685 * 65536. * 72.27 / 72.), + boxvalue(921.25985 * 65536. * 72.27 / 72.), + } addtopageattributes("CropBox",box) -- mandate for rendering - addtopageattributes("TrimBox",box) -- mandate for pdf/x - -- addtopageattributes("BleedBox",box) + addtopageattributes("TrimBox",trimbox) -- mandate for pdf/x + addtopageattributes("BleedBox",box) -- addtopageattributes("ArtBox",box) end Harald -- "I hope to die ___ _____ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word.", 0--,| /OOOOOOO\ Donald E.
