Allow Always show document page size preference to show actual trimmed page size (TrimBox size) instead of CropBox size
When you use Always show document page size option in Page Content and Information section of the Page Display panel of Acrobat Preferences, the Acrobat display CropBox size. For press ready PDF with printing marks or for a PDF file with a bleed defined and visible, the CropBox size is not useful information for checking the correct format of trimmed / final print product page.
Please add to preferences an option to display TrimBox size instead of CropBox. Ideally there could be visible TrimBox size, BleedBox size, CropBox size and PDF/X standard variant with Output Intent information.
This information – especially the TrimBox size – would be useful for print production, for designers and clients too. When Acrobat or Reader show CropBox size, no one is able to check actual page size = trimmed page size easily without pre-flight, measurement tool or a crop tool.

Yeah this is such a basic and obvious feature, and should have been implemented two decades ago.
