Dan, I am using the pdf as a background and doing a simple text merge onto it. By cropping I meant I opened the file in acrobat and used the crop tool to trim off excess white space. Thanks Chris

How exactly are you using the PDF in question? Is it your background (template) document? Is it a graphic resource you're using in a frame? Also, when you are cropping the PDF, do you mean you're modifying just the Crop Box, or are you changing the Trim Box or another box? If it's a resource, FusionPro generally uses the CropBox to determine which part of the PDF graphic to show. However, you can modify this with the pdfbbox attribute of the FusionProResource object. For instance: var r = new FusionProResource("mydoc.pdf", "graphic", true); r.pdfbbox = "MediaBox"; r.pagenumber = 2; return r.content; As you can see if you validate the rule, this property corresponds to the "pdfbboxtype" attribute of the <graphic> tag. You can also change the page number. Please refer to the Tags Reference Guide for more details. If you're talking about the template (background) PDF file for your job, I don't recommend modifying the page boxes. The positions of all the frames on the page are based on the Trim Box.
