Priority: P2
Bug ID: 53724
Assignee: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org
Summary: Fop-pdf-images extension should ignore crop box
dimensions if bigger than media box
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
Reporter: matthias8...@gmx.at
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Version: 1.1dev
Component: images
Product: Fop
The PDF spec says (section 10.10.1 Page Boundaries, Version 1.7): "The media
box defines the boundaries of the physical medium on which the page is to be
printed. It may include any extended area surrounding the finished page for
bleed, printing marks, or other such purposes. It may also include areas close
to the edges of the medium that cannot be marked because of physical
limitations of the output device. Content falling outside this boundary can
safely be discarded without affecting the meaning of the PDF file."
I've seen PDF files (created with Adobe Illustrator) which have a crop box
exceeding the size of the media box. The fop-pdf-images extensions doesn't
handle this special case correctly because the crop box is always used, without
checking if the dimensions are actually smaller than the media box. Therefore
the "content falling outside this boundary" is not discarded as suggested by
the PDF spec.
As soon as patch 53468 is processed, I'll provide a patch for this issue too
(there are changes in the same source file which makes it impossible to provide
a clean Patch).
