Description |
Selects the PDF underlay to clip. |
|
depending on whether or not a boundary already exits the command will produce following prompts: If no boundary exists you are prompted: Enter PDF clipping type [Polygonal/Rectangular] <Rectangular>: - type P or R. If a boundary already exists you are prompted: Delete old boundary? [Yes/No] - type Y or N. This option replaces the existing clipping boundary with a new one. Please note that the command will only continue (by prompting you to select a new boundary) after the previous boundary is deleted. So typing No at previous prompt will cancel the Pdfclip command. |
