"Remove the content outside of the crop box area" in batch?

Post by Special »

I know about this option in the crop pages window, https://i.imgur.com/Qy7Bxxj.png

But that is for the current page, I have docs with hundreds of already cropped pages, each page slightly different, one page might be Left:1 Right:5.7 Top:1 Bottom:1 and the next might be Left:4.9 Right:1 Top:3 Bottom:1 for example and if I check the "Remove the content outside of the crop box area" and select the "All" pages range, it crops all the pages to the same Margins that were set for the current page, but I don't want that, they are already cropped how they need to be with individual settings each.

How can I remove the content outside the crop box for all pages without touching their already crop margins?

Hello Special,
I am sorry to say that to my knowledge Tools views the entire document regardless of the crop boxes. The method for changing this is by using the Adjust size of the pages' Media Box to the size of the crop box function.

unless this has been done prior, I do not believe there is any way to remove the content automatically.
I am consulting with my colleagues to find if any of them know of a solution for you on this matter, I will return once I have an answer.

Hello again Special,
After speaking with the Dev team, It seems this bounds into the territory of feature requests.
I will be making a feature request in this regard.
Adjusting the media box to match the current crop box within Tools and Editor on a document with multiple differently cropped pages.

And I'm back again,
The Devs have given me the word that this feature is a tab bit to late to make it into the 325 build coming out soon.
But, they are going to make a push to have it in during or before the 326 builds release.
