PDF Filter XTensions software
You can use PDF Filter XTensions software to do two things:
Save a page or range of pages from a QuarkXPress layout as a Portable Document Format
(PDF) file. For more information, see "Exporting a layout in PDF format."
Import a page of a PDF file into a picture box. For more information, see "Importing a PDF
file into a picture box."
Importing a PDF file into a picture box
To import a PDF file into the active picture box:
1
Choose File > Import Picture.
TrimBox: Uses the size of the page after trimming is done. This option does not include
registration marks and is unaffected by any bleeds applied to the layout space when the
PDF is created.
CropBox: Uses the size of the page plus space for any specified bleeds and space allotted
for registration marks. CropBox equals the size of the layout space from the PDF Boxer
XT software standpoint.
BleedBox: Uses the size of the page plus space for bleeds.
MediaBox: Uses the size of the page, not including space for bleeds or registration marks.
2
Click Open.
The preview for a PDF page displays at the color depth specified in the Color TIFFs
drop-down menu in the Display pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit
menu).
To preview a different page of a PDF file in the Import Picture dialog box, check the
Preview check box, and then enter the page number in the PDF Page field.
To find out which page of a PDF file was imported into a layout, display the Pictures pane
of the Usage dialog box (Utilities menu), and then check More Information.

Item > Scale lets you specify a new width, a new height, or both for the selected item,
