Editing PDF's

[Don@Black Dog]

When I import a PDF of a Word document (notes or specs)onto a Sheet Layer, the whole 8 1/2 x 11 page comes along. I would like to be able to crop it to reduce the space being taken, but cannot find a way. Any ideas? (I was hoping to import it directly to the sheet layer, rather than to a design layer, then make a viewport, etc...)

you can crop it in Photoshop before you import it...

... or use Graphic Coverter, or, if you have it, Acrobat. Just crop it to where you want it and save as another PDF.

Smaller margins in Word? Perhaps even a custom page size, if you want a narrow column.

You can cut and paste the PDF from the Design Layer to the Sheet Layer once it's imported.

Otherwise, you can import it do the Design Layer, make a VP of it on the Sheet layer and then crop the VP to the size you want using the Edit Crop mode of the Viewports.
