Yes, that's why I developed zwpagelayout. The customers ask me to
create prints in nonstandard size, e.g 15cm x 15 cm and for the
phototypesetters I have to include not only the mediabox, but also the
bleedbox, cropbox and crop marks. The boxes are displayed in Adobe
Acrobat, even in the free Acrobat Reader but I have not found any
viewer running in Linux which can do it.
