What version of Indesign?
What are you referring to as "indication area"?

So sorry, I meant InDesign CS1 and by indication area I meant (I think, my ID is Spanish speaking) that area for slugs, crop marks and the like (I am not sure now about the name in an English ID)

Quote from:
Cari Jansen, Certified Adobe Expert, on MediaBox, BleedBox and TrimBox info

From Adobe InDesign

When creating PDFs from InDesign via printing to Adobe PDF (or PostScript), BleedBox information is sourced from the bleed settings in the marks & bleeds section of the print dialog box. TrimBox information is sourced from the document setup. The MediaBox size is sourced from the media size to which you print. If the "paper"-size width and height are set to automatic, the MediaBox size will be equal to the BleedBox size.

The CropBox size is set to be the same as the Media size.

When using the Export to Adobe PDF option, the MediaBox size will be larger than the BleedBox only when registration marks have been selected (for the number hungry amongst us: 18pt + offset value added to all 4 sides).

Setting CropBox to TrimBox size

To view the PDF at it?s finished (trim) size, match the CropBox settings to those you read in the TrimBox settings, then click OK to apply and accept the changes. Note that setting a CropBox size does NOT alter the Media size nor the TrimBox and BleedBox sizes.
