Hi 1T3XT,
Thanks for the reply. How do I clip the imported page? I need to clip this based on the size of the cropbox. This is why I wanted to get the content of the cropbox from the start rather than the PageSize? Surly this is not an unusual task? Any Ideas?

I don't understand what you did and even less why you did it, but... why don't you just clip the imported page before adding it? -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA From: Ric Clarke [mailto:r...@webkeg.com] Sent: 09 January 2010 7:09 PM To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [iText-questions] Get the content from only within the cropbox? Hi, I'm copying pages from one document into another. My script can take a A3 pdf and scale it down to a A4 by using the following: iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader reader = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader(inPDF); iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter writer = iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, new FileStream(outPDF, FileMode.Create)); for (int i = 1; i <= reader.NumberOfPages; i++) { iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfImportedPage oriPage = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, i); image = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(oriPage); image.ScaleToFit(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4.Height); image.SetAbsolutePosition(0, 0); image.Border = iTextSharp.text.Rectangle.BOX; image.BorderColor = iTextSharp.text.BaseColor.GREEN; image.BorderWidth = 1f; directcontent.AddImage(image); pdfDoc.NewPage(); } This is works great on most of my pdfs. However there are some pdf's where I want to only use the content within the cropbox. When I use the above script it done not use the crop box for the size, therefore any trim marking and anything else outside the cropbox are shown. I've been trying for hours now to try and get it to use the dimensions of the cropbox. After a lot of digging around I thought I had found a solution: In the itextsharp source file "itextsharp-5.0.0\iTextSharp\text\pdf\PdfImportedPage.cs" and in the class " PdfImportedPage" I changed: "bBox = readerInstance.Reader.GetPageSize(pageNumber)" To "bBox = readerInstance.Reader.GetCropBox(pageNumber);" Thinking this would work, but it does not see too. I think I'm starting to go round in circles now. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks Ric No virus found in this incoming message.
