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.
