DOCUMENTS
PDF Margin Checker
Inspect PDF page boxes and understand what each boundary means.
A FEW SIMPLE STEPS
How to use it
- Choose a PDF within the documented file limits.
- Inspect the available page boxes for each page.
- Compare guides and check your printer’s requirements.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE
A page may have a MediaBox larger than its TrimBox to allow space outside the intended finished size.
Know the limits
Page boxes describe document geometry. They do not measure the distance between visible artwork and an edge, or prove print compliance.
A good question
Can a page box tell me the actual content margin?
No. Actual content-margin analysis requires inspecting page content, which is outside this tool’s stated scope.
