Hi Christian,

The media box defines the boundaries of the physical medium.
The first two numbers in /MediaBox dictionary are origin of
coordinates. The latter two are width and height respectively.
All these numbers are in points and, in my opinion, in human readable
form (5mm = 72pt/25.4mm * 5mm = 14.173pt)

The document is shifted while printing because you changed the
width/height ratio.
Setting bleed offsets that correspond to width/height ratio will
prevent shifting.
It should look like this in your case:
<?xep-pdf-crop-offset 7.84mm 5mm?>
<?xep-pdf-bleed 7.84mm 5mm?>
