Blake_S Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 If you attempt to data merge PDF files into an Image frame, it doesn't work correctly if PDF has a trim box defined - all content outside of the Trim Box gets cut. Suggestion - either change the behavior to use a crop box when deciding which content is shown, or let the user select it somewhere. As it stands, Publisher cannot be used for any data merge jobs that involve merging PDFs with trim boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture frame doesn't seem to have any setting for this, choosing "None" in frame properties does nothing. everything past trim box area is cut off, doesn't seem to be any way to retain that content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
