Say I had a 50px by 800px box and that the bottom most 50px of that box
contained an image.

How might I go about cutting off the top 400px of that box? Resizing
it (without preserving the aspect ratio) won't work since I want to
preserve the image. I could place a white box over the part of the box
that I want to delete, but I'd rather just delete it then have to worry
about "grouping" the two layers.

Any ideas?

The latter, I assume. It's from a PDF, so I'm not sure if this
particular image is vector-based or pixel-based...

Which of the following applies??

I have a rectangular path 50px wide and 800px high. I have pkaced a
50px X 50px image at the bottom of the rectangle. I now only want my
rectangle to be 50px high and remove the top 750px.




I have placed an image 50px wide and 800 px high. Only the bottom 50px
contains what I want to keep and I want to remove the top 750px.

It still depends on the object in the PDF but,

I would open the pdf in Photoshop and just crop it.

or

In Illustrator, draw a line (stroke = .01px) across the box, at the
top of the image (just barely above it, not on it), then with just the
line still selected, select Object > Path > Divide Objects Below.
Select and remove the extra box paths.
or

In Illustrator, slice the extraneous paths with the scissor tool

or
In Illustrator, Create a clipping mask

Illustrator > Help > Clipping mask
Google > "Illustrator" "Clipping mask"

If you want to email a copy of the pdf to my hotmail address
jbl02NO DeleteThis @SPAMhotmail.com
without the NO SPAM

I could take a look at it and better advise.
