Bounding Box Places the PDF page’s bounding box, or the minimum area that encloses the objects on the page,
including page marks. The Bounding Box (Visible Layers Only) option uses the bounding box only of the visible layers
of the PDF file. The Bounding Box (All Layers) option places the bounding box of the entire layer area of the PDF file,
even if layers are hidden.
Art Places the PDF only in the area defined by a rectangle that the author created as a placeable artwork (for example,
clip art).
Crop Places the PDF only in the area that is displayed or printed by Adobe Acrobat.
Trim Identifies the place where the final produced page will be physically cut in the production process, if trim marks
are present.
Bleed Places only the area that represents where all page content should be clipped, if a bleed area is present. This
information is useful if the page is being output in a production environment. Note that the printed page may include
page marks that fall outside the bleed area.
Media Places the area that represents the physical paper size of the original PDF document (for example, the
dimensions of an A4 sheet of paper), including page marks.

Transparent Background Select this option to reveal text or graphics that fall beneath the PDF page in the InCopy
layout. Deselect this option to place the PDF page with an opaque white background.
If you make the background transparent in a frame containing a PDF graphic, you can make it opaque later by adding
a fill to the frame.
