Remove Boxes
This command removes selected page boundaries for selected pages.
Media Box can’t be removed since it is mandatory and may be inherited.
Media Box is mandatory and serves as default/parent box for Crop Box.
Crop Box serves as default/parent box for Art Box, Bleed Box and Trim Box.
Have a look at some examples.
