1. Introduction
The Fixup Set MediaBox to Origin is available in the Workflow. The aim of this Fixup is to set the MediaBox to its origin, i.e. the coordinates 0/0.
2. General
The Fixup Set MediaBox to Origin can be used to bring the MediaBox back to its original position. In some cases, the MediaBox can also be moved, especially if the Page Box is moved. If the MediaBox is not in its original position, this can lead to errors in the further processing and calculation of the document in the Workflow.
Apply this Fixup by default for all print data or technical drawings created in programs such as PackZ, ArtPro and the CAD programs ArtiosCAD. Almost by default the MediaBox is very often not in the origin in these programs.
Find the Fixup in the Data Preparation tab of an Article, Order or Production Job by:
- entering the name of the Fixup in the Filter area,
- activating the option Page Box in the Category area,
- activating the option MediaBox in the Search area.
