Stupid question – pdf crop marks
Hi guys, this seems like a stupid question and i feel more stupid than usual asking it :rollseyes: but when i print a pdf with onyx 11 it always give crop marks to show the outside of the pdf. For the life of me i cant find an answer to get rid of them so any advice would be much appreciated.
I setup using illustrator cs4, however even opening ready pdf files it still does the same

You must have enabled print crop marks in Onyx? Nothing to do with the pdf’s. It probably prints crop marks with all types of files at the moment?

quote Phill Fenton:You must have enabled print crop marks in Onyx? Nothing to do with the pdf’s. It probably prints crop marks with all types of files at the moment?Hi phill, no crops are off in onyx. Been through the settings a million of times. Also crops are off when saving as pdf.

Perhaps your printer is itself responsible for producing the crop marks then? Try printing a random jpg and see if you still get crop marks. It’s probably something within the printers control panel settings

Ok printed straight from jpeg and they marks are not there. Seems to be with pdf and eps files. God knows. Maybe i should just get used to them 🙂

Have you got crop marks ticked when you save to pdf in illustrator?
-
nope they are unticked. Its all very strange. When i save a pdf and snap the artboards to the image area it shows the crops on the outside of the artboard. Then they disappear and come back when printing.

What type of pdf are you saving as? Sorry not in the office so i dont have cs4 at hand?
-
Hi, i just save as illustrator default. Click off the illustrator editor to make the file smaller but thats it
-
ok will have a look through default settings. We have some presets for pdf that automatically put crop marks when saving the file but default shouldent. Must be something ticked somewhere.
cheers
