jweitzel Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Hello out there! In the past I have done graphic design with other softwares ;-). There was the possibility of not only using bleed area for correct printing of crop marks, but also a complete free definable area of a "mounting area": For example, if I had to set not only crop marks, but also fold marks or other marks, I have put these on a 15 mm wide "mounting area" in addition to the bleed. Then export all of those in prepress PDF. Question: How do I solve something like this in AFPub? Thanks alot! Johannes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only solution I know: Make a bigger bleed area for the marks you need. Not very convenient I know. naresh666 1 Quote ---------- Windows 10 / 11, Complete Suite Retail and Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jweitzel Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 Thanks for your idea! – But I hope, this will not be the only solution. You can't deliver a PDF with, say 20mm bleed to a printing company, if they demand 3 mm. All automated prepress workflows interpret the information of the bleed, crop box, trapping etc. given within the PDF. Furthermore the automated placing of the crop marks by AFPub will be "wrong", because "way too far away". no no. It's more complicated, I think.
