Using the Crop Option

The Crop option removes all parts of the graphic that extend beyond the specified distances from the top left corner. If you omit one of the arguments, the graphic is not modified in that dimension. For example, this rule...

AddMultiPageBitmap SRCH(1,AddMultiPageBitmap,40,.\tif_srch 40,19),CROP(100mm,80mm)

tells the system to only include in the print stream an area of the graphic that is 100 mm tall by 80 mm wide, beginning in the top, left corner.

This rule...

AddMultiPageBitmap SRCH(1,AddMultiPageBitmap,40,.\tif_srch 40,19),CROP(12000)

tells the system to only include the top five inches (12000 FAP units) of the full-width graphic in the print stream.

Crop option

Keep in mind...

If no units, such as inches (in) or millimeters (mm), are provided, the system assumes your entry is in FAP units (2400 per inch).
Do not include both the Scale and Crop options. If you include both options, the system ignores the Crop option and only uses the Scale option.
