Gimp 2.7 now offers the ability to add crop marks to print outs.
However, where can I find the setting for how far they should appear from the picture's edge. I want to adjust the width of the bleed, which is 0 (zero) at the moment (which is completely pointless of course).
Can photoshop export a pdf file with crop marks and bleed?
or is it the same thing if it is done manually.
I'm looking to put together a magazine in Photoshop CS2. The plan is to save single pages as PDF's, and combine them in Acrobat.
However I'm told I need to ensure I have bleed and trim marks - and I have no idea how to do these.
I am so confused with bleed marks for printers. Here is my example.
I am designing a postcard that is 8.5 x 3.66. I set my page size in the layout section to 8.5 x 3.66. In that layout section it also has a bleed button. I check it and type in .125 in. (what the printer requires.
So it adds a dotted line outside . which i understand. Here is my question. When I save as PDF, only the 8.5x3.66 saves and not the bleed area. I need the printer to see the bleed area. They also want crop marks.
I have a document which is sized for full bleed printing. I would also like to make PDF prints of this document, but if I simply print, then everything will be off by a little. Is there a non-destructive way to 'crop' the document back to the paper size?

also, on that same menu, the bleed option: does that stretch the edges of the document to create a bleed or do i need to create the document that much larger to compensate for a bleed?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a business card project and I want to put three cards on one pace with crop marks on each card. How can I do it? I only know to put crop marks when saving to PDF or exporting to printer and on one individual element on the page.
I want to have those three cards with crop marks, and on one page.
I have never had to add crop marks to a file for printing. I output to a PDF at full bleed and it gets cut. Period.
Now, on a new project, it has to have the crop marks. Problem is, When I add those, I get marks like the black lines shown in each corner here. Obviously, this is NOT the cut line. The cutline should be more like the ones I have added after the fact in green.
How do I make the marks show up further in to the document (like th green lines) versus showing up at the full bleed's edge?
I've just dicovered by accident that when exporting from cdr to pdf the cropmarks in the upper right corner are placed a bit too far out (see picture). I have the latest CorelDraw version and this happens with every PDF export setting I have, regardless of the amount of crop space I choose.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow do I get crop marks to print? Can't seem to find the option in the print module.
Using LR 5.3.
I have created a document that will be cut to 120mm x 120mm, I wanted to include a 10mm bleed around it so I made my Photoshop doc 140mm x 140mm.
When I go to the Print dialogue I have checked "Corner Crop Marks", set the bleed to 10mm and in the preview I can see that the crop marks are inside the image, marking out the correct 120x120 area. However, when I click Print the marks appear on the paper at the 140mm x 140mm area.
Has anyone else had this error, and even more importantly, has anyone found a solution?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it not counter intuitive to include the crop marks of an object in the transform dimensions. i.e If I create a box 200x200mm and turn on crop marks the new dimension is 238.1x238.1mm. I can understand a stroke affecting the dimensions of an object but crop marks? I'm not feeling it, I have to remove crop marks from the appearance, change size of the object then re-apply crop marks.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI recently u[graded from a very old Illustrator version to CS6 and I noticed the crop tool is missing. It used to be really easy in the old version to drag the crop tool around the area in question and crop marks would be generated automatically. Then I could save and print just that area only. Now this tool is gone and I am having trouble with finding a way to define the area I want to save or print. When i generate crop marks and then save, all i get is a file with plenty of white around it that also shows the crop marks....

View 9 Replies View RelatedWorking on Adobe CS6..A sign maker has asked me to submit my artwork for different signs (quite a few of them, in different-sizes) as EPS with crop/trim marks.
For instance: The size of this sign is 24"x24" with a .25" bleed. The Artboard shows the right size, and the crop marks show uo as they should. But once I let go of the Artboard, no crop marks show on my screen.
Any crop mark I try adding via the Object ("Create Trim Marks") or Effect menu for crop marks, both cases would create them around the BLEEDS, rather than the REAL ARTBOARD, which, of course, defies the purpose of a crop or trim mark...
I usually submit files for production saved as PDF w/bleeds & crop marks, but this sign maker wants them as EPS.Is there a way around it, other than create those marks manually?

I have attached a screen-shot of the problem, where the the last hollow core slab overlap the beam. I can manually change the width of the last beam, but it would take a lot time, moreover if I change the dimension of the overlapped beam, then i have to readjust the last hollow core slab.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want it to be a variable stroke, so I loaded up “Width Profile 2” in the profiles. The trouble I am having, is that Illustrator defaults to start the larger dots in the bottom right hand corner, and I would like the “starting point” to be in the middle of the line if you know what I mean. I'm still happy for the dots to start big, then gradually decrease in size, but I want to control where the “beginning” is.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSeveral times, we generate a drawing, and the text widths in the columns vary greatly. Some have text that is ten characters long, and others have thirty-plus characters.
Is there a way to be able to select the table (or perform the command to all tables in the current layout) and have each of the columns expand to the appropriate width, that depends on the longest string of text in that column, for each column. The problem I see, is that some tables have two columns, some have six, and of course other with any number in between. The same is also true for the amount of rows.
