Recent versions of illustrator don't provide a cropbox but set the trip and artbox instead;
I think that it makes sense, when no box spec is given to pdftex, the fallback scheme should be:
cropbox trimbox artbox mediabox
instead of
cropbox mediabox
(interesting how willing adobe is to break compatible behaviour, probably because they use version info inthe graphics to adapt their progs behaviour to)
No.
The crop box defines the region to which the contents of the page
are to be clipped (cropped) when displayed or printed. Unlike the
other boxes, the crop box has no defined meaning in terms of
physical page geometry or intended use; it merely imposes
clipping on the page contents. However, in the absence of
additional information (such as imposition instructions specified
in a JDF or PJTF job ticket), the crop box determines how the
pages contents are to be positioned on the output medium. The
default value is the pages media box.
