• Graphic elements (tints, gradients, brushed layers)
• Images (cut-outs, background images)
• Text and dummy text
• Filters (e.g. color gradation or pixelation)
Each layer on a layout is located on a separate level and identified
by a unique layer number. You can change the order in
which layers lie on top of each other (stacking order, see
page 16-15). If a layer is hidden it can be moved up to a higher
level, for example.
Layer #1 is the layout‘s background layer. This layer cannot be
moved or transformed, nor can it be positioned on top of another
layer. It is possible, however, to fill this layer with color or
an image.
Image EPS files contain only one single image. Such files are
created e.g. in ORIS PDF Tuner by saving an image in EPS
format or by image editing programs such as Photoshop. Image
EPS files can be used in ORIS PDF Tuner like any other
image. See also Page EPS.
A PDF page can be defined by various ‘page boxes’:
• MediaBox
Defines the size of the physical medium on which the page
is intended to be displayed or printed. The MediaBox includes
any extended area surrounding the finished page for
bleed marks, register marks, or other similar purpose.
• CropBox
Defines the region to which the contents of the page are to
be clipped when displayed or printed. Unlike the other boxes,
the CropBox has no defined meaning in terms of physical
page geometry or intended use. It merely suggests
where the page should be clipped.
• TrimBox
Defines the intended dimensions of the finished page after
trimming.
• BleedBox
Determines the region to which the page contents needs to
be clipped when output in a production environment. Usually
the BleedBox is 3 to 5 millimetres larger than the Trim-
Box. It is nice to know the size of the BleedBox but it isn’t
that important in graphic arts. Most prepress systems allow
