graphikal Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I've had this recurring problem, whereby I make a text frame and within the frame a cropped portion of the background from another area of the layout shows up. It's literally like I took a crop of a portion of my PDF layout and dragged it over and dropped it into my text frame. I can't seem to get rid of it, and it doesn't happen all the time. I can't figure out what the common denominator is that is making it happen at different times, and I can't get rid of it once it starts. Any ideas??

Dan Korn Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Where are you seeing this? Is it when you are doing a Preview? Do the artifacts show up in the output when you do a non-Preview composition? Can you post a screenshot? What version of FusionPro, Acrobat, and operating system are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbanceu Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I've had the same problem on occasion. Seems to be related to pdf's that are cropped, but when the preview is drawn it remembers that uncropped dimension. As a workaround I use Pitstop to step and repeat the pdf to the target size (usually the same) before starting in FusionPro. The step & repeat tool seems to "weld" the size you see to the document.

Dan Korn Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks for that extra info, but I still need something to work with if I'm going to analyze this. Can you attach a template PDF that demonstrates the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbanceu Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 this pdf illustrates the issue: the text box preview shows part of the indicia above it. test-card.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 FusionPro expects the Trim Box of the document to be the same as the Media (Bleed) Box, not the same as the Crop Box. To fix your template PDF, go into the "Crop Pages" dialog in Acrobat (in Acrobat 9, from the menu, "Document" -> "Crop Pages"), then under "Page Range", select "All", then change the entry in the first drop-down list from "CropBox" to "TrimBox", click "Set to Zero", and then click "OK". You'll see a box saying, "Changing a page's TrimBox may have unexpected consequences in FusionPro." Click "OK" there, and the Preview should now be correct. That same warning message about changing the TrimBox probably should have been shown when you modified the document's TrimBox initially, but I don't know if we have the ability to detect changes you make with a third-party plug-in such as PitStop the same way we can detect changes made in Acrobat's own dialogs.
