I have a scripted ID Cs4 app that I am using to construct books that are made from a library of PDF files. The library has files coming from various sources and as a result all PDFs are not created with a uniform definition of bounding box. I have found that if I import my files with the "cropbox" option enabled, all is well. However, I have also found that it's easy for ID to be "reset" to use "boundingbox" as the means of import and this wreaks havoc on my layouts. Is there any way that I can force ID to use the cropbox method of import when I invoke it?
