You can add or modify page geometry settings in three ways:
- Using your layout software—the system automatically applies offsets from registration marks included in PostScript generated from Adobe PageMaker and QuarkXPress files.
- In Workshop using the Set Page Geometry dialog box —When you know the measurements you want to apply, use the Set Page Geometry dialog box to control trim size, offset, scale, and orientation for your PDF pages.
- In Prinergy using the Geometry Editor—Prinergy includes a plug-in to Adobe Acrobat that lets you visually set the trim size for a page. Following are effective ways to use this plug-in:
- If your input files are PDF, you can set the trim size before you add the PDF files to a job. When you refine the PDF input files, the system retains the trim size. Display the numerical trim size in the Set Page Geometry dialog box .
- For refined files, use the plug-in as a trim box viewer and editor.
For information about Geometry Editor, see the Geometry Editor documentation.
Tip: To quickly apply a trim size to multiple files, visually set the trim size in the Geometry Editor, and note the measurements. Then select all the pages you want to set to the same trim size and use the Set Page Geometry dialog box to set the trim size for all selected pages.
If you modify the geometry on refined PDF pages, you must refine the PDF page so that Prinergy recognizes the changes. When you refine a PDF page, select a refine process template in which only the Normalize section is enabled.
