I crop the pages because I process a postscript from Quark and the default
page size (also, I think) is A4. Then, I make the pdf in Acrobat Distiller
and, for example, I need crop pages in Acrobat to get my quark document's
size (166mm x 229mm). My script does works with "Sdndi's additions" and my
problem is that I want customize the dropplet in order to get variables
(working along all the process) from a dialog (only once per process).
Actually I can take two ways: introducing the variable manually for every
process or giving every document manually the crop size.
I would wish crop the pages of all documents from only one dialog.
But... could I generate postscripts customizing the page size from quark?
PPDs?
