Need bleeds? Acrobat Pro can not only detect the BleedBox, but add and/or adjust the Crop/Trim/Bleed/ArtBoxes in menu/Document/Pages/Crop -> pulldown. This may solve your problem. This comes in handy when opening files, e.g., from Illustrator or other apps, in which either no boxes have been determined and/or the MediaBox has been purposely oversized to accommodate for printers marks (eg, 9.5x12) and imposition downstream. If there are no boxes coming from the source apps, then the Viewer's printers marks (set in Acrobat's Advanced Print dialog, available only in Pro) will be invisible until the BleedBox and TrimBoxes box are set. Besides the ruler and or grid, turn on the display of art/trim/bleed in: - Menu/Acrobat/preferences/page display (OS X) or - Menu/edit/preferences/page display (WIN) to display and control your changes and placement of the Boxes in the Viewer.
