1a. The original pdf is an outline drawing from google maps done in Generic CAD. As part of that process, the original pdf also had a title, a ruler to measure the map, and some notes at the bottom.
1b. This drawing was cropped using Adobe Acrobat XI tools.
2a. The second file is a Frame 12 document which has the cropped pdf from Item 1 on the master page.
2b. On the body page are some hundreds of numbers (dots on the map).
2c. This looks just great in Frame.
3. Save as pdf in Frame brings the uncropped image from Item 1a as part of the pdf from 2c.
4. The pdf generated in item 3 will be inserted as an anchored frame in a new document.
How to fix #3. Then I'll have to figure out #4.
Thanks in advance.
