Doc fails to crop

Post by yerrbjr »

Attempts to crop the attached (excerpt) document silently fail, in V205.1.
It is a trim to the 'Trim Box' that I am attempting.
Attempts to perform the same op ( Edit Page/Content Settings) from the (V4) utility program crash with an error message.

The 'excerpt' is 3 pgs out of an original 696 pg file but the bug behavior is the same on both.

Curious as to whether this is a malformed file or a Tracker bug.

The doc is not locked etc, Adobe v9 cropped it without complaint.

Hi yerrbjr,

it seems to be cropping correctly to me. See attached cropped file. When you are performing the crop operation are you usng 'Crop Box' in the drop down list and dragging the boundaried to natch the green 'trim box' already defined? That is what I did to get the result. Is this what you need?

regards

Interesting. In fact, I had selected 'trim box' from the 'box' pulldown. I noted that doing so set the contents of 'Margin Controls' just as though I had dragged the cropline to the same locations, and hence would serve to set the dimensions for the desired crop, but faster & more accurately.

Clearly I misunderstood the interaction of these elements in the 'crop pages' dialog.

Sorry for the confusion.
