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
