I have a file w/dieline that is on a page with crop marks, but it is not centered. What I really want to do is center the art. I'd like to make the document size the size of the die plus .5 inch all the way around it. I was told that I need to use the enfocus crop tool to make it permanent. I click on that tool and am lost. Can anyone help? Thanks HI,

When you use the Crop tool and then save the PDF, the cropping is applied like a mask… the dimension can be restored at any time. To make the cropped size permanent… you need to save the page as am EPS file and redistill it. Hope this is what you were looking for. :) lil When you use the Crop tool in Acrobat to resize a page it displays correctly in Acrobat, however when you place it into another application (eg InDesign) it loads the pdf displaying the original size.

Page size = 9.333 x 11.708 inches. It has been cropped to 8.500 x 10.875 inches. For some reason the cropped page is not being recognized. How do I get the page to be 8.500 x 10.875 and get rid of the larger setting? Thanks. Hello,
