You mean you want to place the existing PDF onto a new (larger) sheet that will 
contain the marks, yes?  Then you'll set the trim box to the size of the 
original content (aka where the marks go).

Perhaps you need to read up on what the various page boxes in PDF represent and 
how they are used in the printing industry?

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Create cut marks for pdf


When extending the pdf to allow cut marks what should I use

Media Box, Crop box,Bleed Box,Trim Box, Art box?

I think one of this should be set to a bigger size than the original pdf.
Then I should add marks by drawing in these boundries. is this the right
way?
