Kodimac Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I am new, so please be patient. I need to export with crop marks. I have read other threads that instruct to export to .pdf, select MORE, and select INCLUDE BLEED AND PRINTERS MARKS. However, I do not have that option. Mine only says INCLUDE BLEED. If I choose that option, there are no crop marks on the exported file. Very frustrating. I am able to print the source file with bleed and crop marks, but the export dialogue does not have the option. Any help would be wonderful!

Staff Lee D Posted April 28, 2018 Staff Share Posted April 28, 2018 Can you provide a screenshot of what you see when you click on the More option after selecting PDF on the Export window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might sound silly, but did you scroll down far enough to see all the options ? This is the "More" option in the PDF Export dialog box. Quote Windows PCs.

Kodimac Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Toltec for the win. Thank you so much for making me feel like the biggest dummy ever. When you suggested this, I was annoyed because SURELY I would have noticed a scroll bar. I have spent literally days on this and enlisted my husband and children to help me figure out where the dang crop mark option was. I have never felt so dumb in my whole life. Thank you for that, haha. Sorry to have stolen time out of both yours and Lee D's days. I've got a burning desire to take down this thread and destroy all evidence of my stupidity. But perhaps there's another weirdo out there who will appreciate not having to be called out on their own stupidity, haha. I am loving this app more and more every time I use it. Thanks Lee D and Toltec for your time. Patrick Connor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Lee D, who is one of those clever, technical, software chappies and immediately thought of clever, technical, software issues, I am dumb enough to have done similar things myself.

sophstros Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I just want to boost this post a bit. So - for the SEO: EXPORT SCREEN NOT SHOWING PRINTER MARKS OPTIONS, I CAN'T ADD CROP MARKS AFFINITY PUBLISHER. Ok, now on to my message - this just happened to me! I struggled for days! Well, 1.5 days, anyway. For goodness sake, Affinity/Serif: please fix that UI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Hi @sophstros and welcome, Did you scroll down as explained in the earlier post to see the options about printer marks, etc.? You also need to select a PDF type of file to get those options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richart T Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I had the same issue, so I decided to reach out to this forum and ask for help! I'm transitioning from Adobe Ai, therefore that's why I believe "we" are puzzled about crop marks, the UI on this issue in Affinity Designer is, shall I say, unique. Otherwise this is a very solid program : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all very well having the presets, but unless you use those regularly you tend to forget what features they have, so a trip to the 'More' button becomes inevitable. If it's inevitable, it should not be a 'More' option, it should be on the main page. Good point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
