- Product
- Adobe Acrobat
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Cropping a PDF page and configuring the page boxes.
- Observed behavior
- The Set Page Boxes dialog box is too large for the screen, causing the bottom portion, including the OK button, to be inaccessible.
Ensure your computer's display drivers are up to date and check your current monitor resolution settings before troubleshooting the dialog box layout.
Use the Enter Key to Confirm Changes
The quickest workaround is to use the default keyboard shortcut to apply your settings without needing to click the OK button.
In most Windows and macOS dialog boxes, the 'OK' or primary confirmation button is highlighted by default. Pressing the Enter key triggers this button even if it is currently off-screen.
Adjust your crop margins and other layout settings in the Set Page Boxes dialog as you normally would.
Once your settings are properly configured, simply press the 'Enter' key on your keyboard to apply the changes and close the dialog.
Adjust Display Scaling and Screen Resolution
If the dialog box is consistently too large for your screen, reducing the display scale or increasing the resolution can make the entire window visible.
Move the Dialog Box Using Keyboard Controls
You can force the dialog window to move upwards using Windows keyboard window-management commands.
Use WPS PDF to Crop Pages Without Display Issues
Avoid clunky dialog box glitches by using WPS Office's built-in PDF editor. It offers a user-friendly, responsive interface that perfectly adapts to your screen size, allowing you to crop pages and adjust page boxes effortlessly.
- 1. Open PDF in WPS: Launch WPS Office and open your PDF document.
- 2. Access the Crop Tool: Navigate to the 'Edit' tab and click on the 'Crop Page' option in the toolbar.
- 3. Adjust and Apply: Drag the bounding box on the page to set your crop margins, then click 'Complete' on the scaled toolbar to apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are some dialog boxes in Adobe Acrobat cut off at the bottom?
This usually happens when your monitor's display scaling is set higher than 100%, or if you are using a lower screen resolution. These settings cause large dialog windows to exceed the vertical space of your monitor.
Can I manually resize the Set Page Boxes dialog in Acrobat?
Unfortunately, the Set Page Boxes dialog in Adobe Acrobat is a fixed-size window. It cannot be manually resized by dragging its corners or edges.
Does having an external monitor affect dialog box placements?
Yes, sometimes moving Acrobat between monitors with different resolutions or scaling settings can cause the dialog box to position itself off-screen. Disconnecting the external monitor temporarily can force the dialog back to the main screen.
