clipping a pdf file to user clip size

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Is there any mechanism to clip a pdf file to a non standard clip box ?I am using QuickPDF library to perform imposition and place PDF images at different points on a page.
If the space reserved for an image is different to the pdf file, I may need to clip the image to prevent overlapping for instance. I'm aware that imposing has ability to scale the image , but this is not always desirable
Is there any mechanism to perform clipping to a user specified clip size ?
TIA
Peter

	You can set the page crop box which is a rectangular region that defines the clipping rectangle for a PDF. QP.SetPageBox(2, 1, 100); // Set crop box left to 100 points http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/SetPageBox.php
