Their names sound like they are for the CropBox, TrimBox and BleedBox features 
from the PDF specification.

CropBox: (Optional; inheritable) A rectangle, expressed in default user space 
units,
  defining the visible region of default user space. When the page is dis-
  played or printed, its contents are to be clipped (cropped) to this rectangle
  and then imposed on the output medium in some implementation-
  defined manner (see Section “Page Boundaries”). Default value:
  the value of MediaBox.

BleedBox: (Optional; PDF 1.3) A rectangle, expressed in default user space 
units, de-
  fining the region to which the contents of the page should be clipped
  when output in a production environment (see Section “Page
  Boundaries”). Default value: the value of CropBox.

TrimBox: (Optional; PDF 1.3) A rectangle, expressed in default user space 
units, de-
  fining the intended dimensions of the finished page after trimming (see
  Section “Page Boundaries”). Default value: the value of CropBox.



Whether you see any visible effect for changes to these depends on how complete 
your viewer / print engine implementation of the standard is.

Best wishes,
Taco
