Can't crop document



Hello,

I am running Frame 7.0 on Windows 2000, and using Acrobat 5.

The page size of our documents is 7.5" x 9.0". When we had Frame 6.0, we
used to create PDF files by creating a .ps file and then distilling it. With
Frame 7.0 we are trying to use the Save as PDF feature. 

When I Save as PDF with the page size set to 7.5" x 9.0", our printer says
the files are unacceptable. He says that the bleed tabs need to extend
beyond the 7.5" margin so they "bleed" when they are trimmed. The only way
we have found around this is to Save as PDF with the page size set to 8.5" x
11.0" and then crop the pages to 7.5" x 9.0" in Acrobat.

I am trying to automate this by adding a pdfmark to the files. This is what
I have added:

/pdfmark where {pop} {userdict /pdfmark /cleartomark load put} ifelse
[ /CropBox [36 72 576 720] /PAGES pdfmark

The resulting PDF page size is still 8.5" x 11". The PostScript Code box is
checked in the Customize Text Frame dialog of FrameMaker. What am I doing
wrong? Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Helen
