kqx Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hi, I'm trying to create sheets fit in a binder. My export doesn't include crop marks in the middle of the page, instead crop marks only appear at all 4 corners. What do I do to include crop marks in the middle? I am very new to AP. I just downloaded today. Thank you for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Are you exporting as spreads? Would it not be better to export as pages as crop marks behave there right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see it as 2 'pages' on one page with crop marks at corners and middle. Do you have any suggestions?

Fixx Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 If you need that kind of presentation you can always export as pages and reimport them to a larger layout... People usually do not need that kind of presentation. Crop marks are for press and spread view is for presentation. Different purpose and target group.

KG17 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I am trying to figure this out too. I am also wanting to print 2 per page with crop marks and have a middle crop mark. Here's my process as reference for help. I set up my document size to the paper size I want them after cutting. I have the page amount divisible by 4, select booklet style, and add crop marks before printing to pdf. I know booklet style gives the assumption that I am folding the middle, but I get the same crop marks (edges only) when I simply export spread as pdf. I am hoping for a solution that doesn't involve making manual crop marks on a larger page. I would also prefer to keep them bumped up together in the center of the page versus having 2 separate pages with outer crop marks on a large page if possible. That is because one of the sizes I need would be A5 and I would like to have 2 A5 pages on an A4 page with a center crop mark only, but when I'm doing smaller pages I need both center and the outer edges. On InDesign when exporting spreads with crop marks it will automatically add a center crop mark. Thanks in advance for any advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
