AD: How to create an artboard with crop marks & bleed for multiple images?

[Sirenetta]

Hello,

In AD, I created an artboard that is 8.5" X 11" (standard paper, 3300x2550px) and placed two 5"X7" images (1500X2100px) into the artboard. File attached. When I export to print, I see the option to automatically add crop marks and bleed to the artboard. However, it adds these marks around the artboard and not the actual images.

In this situation, is my only option to add the crop marks and bleed to the file by hand? Or, is there some automation feature that could help me with this? If I need to do by hand, is there a preferred way to do that? The result would be a PDF that could be printed using 8.5"X11" paper and have marks where the image should be cut.

Thanks!

Hi Sirenetta,
Affinity Designer only adds crop marks and bleed around the canvas/artboards, not around objects. You have to create them manually.

Thanks for confirming this!
