There is possibility to edit basic page metrics via gui (Page->Edit page metrics). This will change MediaBox. > > I'd like to edit the trim box, bleed box, media box, crop box, and art box > in PDFs. PDFEdit does display these in the tree view but nothing shows up > in the property editor box. This is due to modes for properties. In short, each property has its own mode which is defined in the $($PDFEDIT_DATA)/mode.conf file (in my installation it is /usr/local/share/pdfedit/mode.conf). Modes are used to determine whether to display or enable editing depending on current configuration. In the basic (default) mode, almost all properties are hidden to prevent from unintentional errors (it is very simple to damage document by simple property change) and of course to lower down properties number. In the Tools->Options (or F9), on the Editor tab, you can select Advanced mode which enables all properties with advanced mode. Advanced properties are those which could be changed but you have to know what you are doing. You can also set Show hidden properties to show also properties with hidden mode. Hidden are those which are not so important. Finally Allow editing read-only properties to enable editing properties with readOnly mode which shouldn't be changed. All *Box properties should be editable normally, but it seems that we have some bug inside, so in the mean time enable: Show hidden properties Allow editing read-only properties Note that only MediaBox property is required by specification and all others are optional. So if you don't see them, you can add new array with the same name from the page Dictionary context menu (right button click) Best regards -- Michal Hocko ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
