Hello:
First time user here. What is the difference between MediaBox and
BoundingBox? And when should I use either?
I hadn't heard of the page BBox. This returns the cropBox.
MediaBox:
A rectangle expressed in default user space units, that shall define the
boundaries of the physical medium on which the page shall be displayed
or printed
CropBox:
A rectangle, expressed in default user space units, that shall define
the visible region of default user space. When the page is displayed or
printed, its contents shall be clipped (cropped) to this rectangle and
then shall be imposed on the output medium in some
implementation-defined manner. Default value: the value of MediaBox.
I can't tell what you should use. What do you want to do? For create a
PDF, just set the mediabox to the A4 and don't bother about the rest.
