Hi,

how can I set the /TrimBox values in PDF ?
right now I use

      \setuppapersize[A4][B4]

with

	\setuplayout[marking=color,...]

and the print shop asks to set the /TrimBox to A4 (which right now is set to B4 paper format).

obviously I can change that with pdftk/qpdf/sed/... in a nice shell-one-liner
but I guess there is a more "context way" to achieve this? ;-)


thanks,

Harald

looking at the current context code I can't (without changing context).
all boxes are set to identical values:-(

for my current setup I'm using the following hardcoded hack below for now (only for one night;)

what's the reason that the "BleedBox" wasn't output/set ?
