Bug ID: 409032
Summary: show pdf boxes: mediabox, cropbox, bleedbox etc.
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
Reporter: daniel-other+kdebug at dadosch.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
PDF boxes are important metadata for printing professionally. They are for
example used to specify where the paper has to be cut and so on.
An overview of such boxes can be found here
https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/PDF_Boxes_:_mediabox,_cropbox,_bleedbox,_trimbox,_artbox
On linux, you can get information about these boxes using the command
pdfinfo -box file.pdf
These boxes could be displayed as an overlay over the regular pdf with
different colors for mediabox, cropbox, etc. Currently, there is no free pdf
viewer which is broadly available that can do that.
