placeable artwork (for example, clip art).
Crop Place the PDF only on the area that is displayed or printed by Adobe Acrobat.
Trim Place the PDF to identify the place where the final produced page will be physically cut in
the production process, if trim marks are present
Bleed Place the PDF only on 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 Place the PDF to 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.
Change vector graphics to a bitmap image
Vector graphics are geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all
based on mathematical expressions, to represent images in computer graphics. Vector graphics are based on
vectors (also called paths or strokes) which lead through locations called control points.
Rasterization is the process of converting a vector graphic to a bitmap image. Illustrator rasterization converts the
graphic’s paths into pixels. It also defines the option you set for the size and other characteristics of the resulting
pixels. You can also rasterize an entire document by exporting it to a bitmap format, such as JPEG, GIF, or TIFF.
