Importing a PDF file into a picture box

To import a PDF file into the active picture box:

  1. Choose File > Import Picture.
    • TrimBox: Uses the size of the page after trimming is done. This option does not include registration marks and is unaffected by any bleeds applied to the layout space when the PDF is created.
    • CropBox: Uses the size of the page plus space for any specified bleeds and space allotted for registration marks. CropBox equals the size of the layout space from the PDF Boxer XT software standpoint.
    • BleedBox: Uses the size of the page plus space for bleeds.
    • MediaBox: Uses the size of the page, not including space for bleeds or registration marks.
  2. Click Open.
Note: The preview for a PDF page displays at the color depth specified in the Color TIFFs drop-down menu in the Display pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu).
Note: To preview a different page of a PDF file in the Import Picture dialog box, check the Preview check box, and then enter the page number in the PDF Page field.
Note: To find out which page of a PDF file was imported into a layout, display the Pictures pane of the Usage dialog box (Utilities menu), and then check More Information.
