Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from all of us at Clinton Press!

Today I am going to explain how to crop a pdf with the cropping tool in Acrobat Professional.
I receive a lot of files with crop marks on them, but I have to take the crop marks off because we have to impose the files for printing. Meaning we set them 2 up on a sheet, etc.

Open up your pdf in Acrobat Professional, next select the crop tool at the top which is the blue square tool. Then draw a box over the area you wish to crop. Next double click and a box will appear, if you have more than one page in the document select ALL Pages and it will automatically crop all pages exactly the same as the one you drew a box around.

Next if you like the way the document cropped, save it out as a pdf and now you have a pdf without crop marks and I also have the bleed, because I cropped it at the bleed edge.
This is a really handy tool if the crop marks are outside the bleed area.

God bless you all and Merry Christmas! We hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday!
Nikki
