When you place a PDF that was saved with passwords, you’ll be prompted to enter the required passwords. If the PDF
file was saved with usage restrictions (for example, no editing or printing), but no passwords, you can place the file.
When you place a PDF (or a file saved with Illustrator 9.0 or later) and select Show Import Options in the Place dialog
box, you’ll see a dialog box containing the following options:
Show preview
Preview a page in the PDF before you place it. If you’re placing a page from a PDF that contains
multiple pages, click the arrows, or type a page number under the preview image to preview a specific page.
Pages
Specify the pages you want to place: the page displayed in the preview, all pages, or a range of pages.
Crop to
Specify how much of the PDF page to place:
•
Bounding box
Places the PDF page’s bounding box, or the minimum area that encloses the objects on the page,
including page marks.
•
Art
Places the PDF only in the area defined by a rectangle that the author created as a placeable artwork (for
example, clip art).
•
Crop
Places the PDF only in the area that is displayed or printed by Adobe Acrobat.
•
Trim
Identifies the place where the final produced page will be physically cut in the production process, if trim
marks are present.
•
Bleed
Places only the area that represents where all page content should be clipped, if a bleed area is present. This
information is useful if the page is being output in a production environment. Note that the printed page may include
page marks that fall outside the bleed area.
•
Media
Places the area that represents the physical paper size of the original PDF document (for example, the
dimensions of an A4 sheet of paper), including page marks.
