Print bleed marks

Post by stevenbennett »

Is there an option to print bleed marks, I'm currently using Foxit PDF to do this but can't find any setting in PDF-XChange?

Hello stevenbennett,

I do not believe there's an automated way to directly add crop marks (other than when using the "Tile larger pages"), so while you can do it with a few steps, it's not a one step process.

Here's the process I can think of with the least amount of steps:

1) Resize the pages to account for the larger area you would need to fit the crop marks without having to resize the content.
2) use an overlay with the needed crop marks and e.g. apply it as a watermark over the existing pages.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Thanks but I'll use Foxit for when I need to print bleed marks as it's just a box tick and PDF XChange for the things that Foxit can't do.

Hello stevenbennett,

Certainly - if that is more convenient to you!

Kind regards,
