PDF And You

• TrimBox describes the page size.

• BleedBox for pages requiring bleed.

• ArtBox for partial-page PDFs that are placed inside other applications.

As for tools, Quite Imposing Plus is an application specifically designed for stripping native PDF pages. ScenicSoft Preps v3.5, the leading application in the PostScript arena, can take in PDF files, but it converts them to PostScript prior to imposition. PressWise 3.0 supports PDF and can mix pages with PostScript and EPS files in the same signature.
