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.
