How to export or print PDF from Illustrator with crop and reg marks?

Hi all,
I realise this is probably a very obvious question, but I've just upgraded from CS3 to CS5.5, and I'm tearing my hair out with the loss of Adobe PDF printer driver. I've looked on forums and can't find this question - prob. so obvious that no one else has asked it.
Can't seem to export as PDF from Illustrator ,only 'save as'. This doesn't give me my crop marks. I've tried putting in crop marks - Effects/Crop Marks - but this places the marks outside my trim, at the edges of my background image, which comes out 2mm all round for bleed purposes.
How can I set crop marks to denote the dimensions of the page size, regardless of how much crap I've got spilling out over the edges for bleed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
PS: Bring back the PDF Printer Driver pleeeease!

You can turn on crop & trim marsk when doing a save as to PDF. But turn on some bleed values greater than 0 (not  as in my screenshot) or you will not get any bleed of your artwork, just the marks then.

  • How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro?

    How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro while maintaining page size and annotation/highlight interactivity? I've tried to use the crop tool in Acrobat Pro (9) and the page does resize, but the highlights and annotations go all over the place. I specifically need to scale the page content smaller (83%) but maintain page size and annotation/highlight to content connection and interactivity.

    An old trick (not recommended) would be to print to a new PDF with the page size selected but a scaling of the content. Only print the document, not the markup, to a new PDF. Close that PDF when done and reopen the old one (or maybe a copy of the old one for safety) and use Document Replace pages and select the new document to replace your current pages. You will then have to go back through the markup to locate it all correctly. There may be a more elegant way, but this may be the fastest.

  • Cannot save, export or print pdfs from browser

    I bought a new MacBook Air from Apple on 5/2/14. OS 10.9.4. Now I find that I can't save or export or print PDFs which I download into Safari or Firefox.
    For instance, I can fill in a fillable pdf in Safari, but I can't print it or save it or export it.  It show a blank document every time. When Saving, it lets me name the file but it's always a zero byte file.  It seems to only apply to downloaded PDFs.
    Can I get Safari to actually download the pdf to the Downloads folder?  Rather than opening it within Safari?
    I'm really desperate about this

    If you installed Adobe Acrobat Pro or Reader, your default in-browser PDF viewing/printing is switched from Apple’s to the Adobe plug-ins. The latter require that you use the plug-in itself — to save the PDF locally, and not the File > Export, or File > Save, or File > Print paradigms that leave you with a corrupt PDF.
    There are two different Adobe plug-in views that can appear with a PDF displayed in the Safari browser. These are images from Safari 7.0.5 on OS X 10.9.4. The Adobe Reader version is 11.0.07. The second is the most prevalent and appears as a rollover item near the bottom of the browser window. The first appears at the top of the PDF displayed in the browser window. To locally save the displayed PDF, choose the Disk icon from either of these choices. Also note the printer icons, which present a unique Adobe printing dialog.

  • Printing PDF from Illustrator CC

    I often open PDF files from customers with Illustrator to modify them when pagination or page position is incorrect.  I have been doing this in Illustrator for many years without issue, but since the CC upgrade, Illustrator invariably quits when I try to print.  Sometimes the print actually goes through to the printer, but I have to relaunch Illustrator CC and reopen my file to continue every time.
    I am using:
    Illustrator CC 18.0.0
    Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
    iMac 27" 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 with 20 GB RAM
    Xerox Color 550 (with 550-560 Integrated Fiery)
    Any ideas?  Anyone else experiencing this issue?  Any advice would be much appreciated.
    I can be emailed at [email protected] as well.
    Thank you.

    Thank you Larry!  I had suspected Fiery because of other issues we've had in the past, but figured since we'd recently updated everything (including Fiery) to the latest and greatest that the problems would dissipate.  I'm so glad to hear it isn't just us!
    In the meantime, I have some successful workarounds I'm using.  They're not as simple as they should be, but it will get us by until Fiery decides to address this problem.  Right now, I get better results when using Photoshop CC to repaginate or combine PDF before printing.  It seems to be working!
    Thank you!

  • Help! How to e-mail a PDF (from Pages) with active web links!

    I have been working on this for hours without any success! I would be so grateful for a brainy Apple wiz to help me out. I am creating a Pages document that has active web links in it. My goal is to e-mail my document with the active web links in it.
    So - If I export my Pages doc as a PDF to my desktop, the links work great! However - the moment I put that PDF into an email and send it the links become inactive. Is there any way to create a Pages document with web links > Export it as a PDF > Then mail with active (clickable) links? I have tried many times without success.
    If the answer to my question is no, does anyone have a tip for where I can create a PDF and mail it with active links? Will any of the Adobe programs work for this type of thing?
    Thanks so much!!

    Using Pages '09 v4.2.
    I just tested this. Assumption: You have the “Windows friendly attachments” checked in the attachments panel.
    Your Pages document is open. The web links are active. You want to get it into Mail.
    From the Pages menu bar, choose Share > Send Via Mail > PDF.
    Mail will open with a compose window. Your PDF will be attached as a full view document. You see the links present in the PDF.
    Now, click near the web links. This shows your PDF in blue. Now right-button click, and choose View as Icon from the pop-up panel.
    Now mail it to yourself on another account that Mail can open.
    You will see the web links in the PDF.
    Right-button click on a link and from the pop-up menu, choose Open with Safari.
    If you chose Quick Look, it would pop open the PDF and offer to open it further in your default PDF viewer. In my case, it is Adobe Reader.
    If Reader opens this PDF from the Mail attachment, the web links remain active.
    Does this solve your issue?

  • Printing PDF from IE with Adobe Reader - extra white space at top of page

    I searched the forums far and wide but did not find this question or information to answer it.  If it's out there, I'd be much obliged if you'd point me in the right direction.
    A user of the web app for which I do tech support just called to say that starting today, whenever he opened a PDF from our app (in IE), the PDF looks fine on screen but when he prints the PDF, every page has extra blank/white space inserted at the top, which cuts off the bottom inch or two of each page.
    No other users have called with this complaint, and if changes to our app or an automatic background Adobe Reader or IE update caused this problem, I would have heard from many users.  I have a sneaking suspicion I have heard about this from other users, but since troubleshooting their IE or Adobe isn't exactly my job, I don't know if I did any more than advise them to talk to their tech support people. 
    I can't recreate his problem (read: it works fine for me), but I'd like to help him.  Can anyone think of a reason why this might be happening?
    Thanks in advance.

    What I know:  He's using Adobe Reader X.  I do not know if it's the most recent version.  The problem only exists with PDFs from our web app; he's not having trouble with other sites or with other PDFs.
    I do not have a copy of the PDF; I can't give you the copy I downloaded when I logged into his account because there is proprietary confidential information on it, but everything worked fine for me and he's the only user with this complaint, so I believe it's related to his PC or printer, not to our app or to Adobe per se. 
    I sent him email asking for more information, but I do not know what printer he's using.  I don't even know what version of Windows he's running. 
    Based on some info from Adobe, I suggested he make sure he's using the most recent version (10.1.2), try 'print as image" to see if that's any more successful, and make sure his printer drivers are up to date. 
    Given the nature of tech support, if he solves the problem or finds a workaround he's happy with, I may never hear from him again to know.  I just wanted to know if this was a known issue and what recommended resolutions for it might be.  Having not found anything on the web at large, I figured the Adobe forums would be a good place to ask.
    Thanks for the time you took to answer.

  • How to send a e-mail from folio with subj and text

    Hello!
    I need send an e-mail from folion. I knew how to make hypperlink but a need not only subj and address. I need a text there. Can somebody explain how it's should be?
    Best regards

    You can make an object have a mailto: hyperlink that has subject and body variables included.
    It would look like this:
    mailto:[email protected]?subject=Subject-text-goes-here&body=Body-text-goes-here
    Fill in the variables with your own text, and make sure to replace spaces in your subject and body text with figure dashes.

  • Trouble with Crop and Trim Marks in Illustrator CS3

    Hi,
    I'm creating a print document (in Illustrator CS3, using Windows Vista) and sending to a professional printer who requires trim marks. I've created my document so that there is 0.125" trim area on all sides to bleed. Here is what I'm doing to create trim marks:
    Artboard is set at desired print size (5.5"x8.5") + 1/8" trim= 5.75"x8.75"
    Object>Crop Area>Make This give me crop marks at the edge of my artboard
    then I do
    Object>Crop Area>Release This allows me to change my crop marks to my desired, 0.125" size
    Then i do
    Filter>Create>Crop Marks This shows me my crop marks exactly where I want them in a red retangle
    then I save the file as a PDF and select the following settings:
    Press Quality
    Marks and Bleeds: I select the "Trim Marks" box to print the trim marks
    If I tell it to show bleeds, it only shows up on the top and bottom, not left and right, even though there is "0.125" in all fields.
    (Although these have only showed up for me once, I cannot get it to show up again)
    When I select "Save" and then view the file, the trim marks are there, but not were I specified them to be. They show up at the edge of the artboard.
    When I change the Artboard to letter size (8.5x11), THEN the crop marks show up where they're supposed to be. Why is this happening???
    Any thoughts?? Thank you!

    I can get crop marks by using the "Print" menu and printing to PDF. My question is: How do you handle bleeds when printing crop marks in the "Save" or "Print" stage? Aren't the crop marks placed at the file extents?

  • Save pdf with crop and bleed marks in Photoshop cc 2014

    ! !Hi,
    I used to save PDF for print with crop marks in Photoshop by setting them up when using "save as". Don't have that option any more in CC 2014. Is it a new way to do it or I have something turned off?
    Thanks!

  • How to export an interactive pdf from InDesign at a smaller file size.

    I have a single page InDesign doc with a side navigation panel to the right of each page. This panel has interactive buttons created in InDesign.
    When I export as an interactive pdf, the file size is over 27MB and I need it to be much lower.
    I should mention that this doc was made from an original PRINT InDesign doc of facing pages, which was about 55MB.
    When making it single pages for the interactive doc, the InDesign file size increased to 105MB.
    Can anyone explain this and have any useful tips for saving the pdf down WITH interactivity working?
    Many thanks.

    Okay - With the 15MB pdf, when I go into the PDF Optimizer dialog box, it's telling me that the Fonts are using 40% and the Acrobat Forms are using 29%.
    Anyone know of a way I can reduce either of these???
    Many thanks in advance!

  • Print PDF from web with adobe acrobat 8

    I have adobe acrobat standard version 8.
    The program works fine, except I can not print a web page to a PDF.
    Under the print option, there is no longer a tab/printer option that says print to adobe PDF?
    How do I get that back?

    No.  It is not there for some reason, and I can't see how to install it?

  • How to export edited GoPro mov from Premiere with same settings & similar size?

    I feel like this should be easy but every time I try to export my edited video it's much bigger than the original, or it's smaller and bad quality.
    My business partner sent me a 720p GoPro MOV that is 33:50 long and 1.78GB. I edited out 3 minutes and want to render in the same quality.
    I've tried exporting as MOV and MP4 with various settings and it either ends up huge, like 25GB or more, or half the size and terrible quality.
    I also tried rendering "match sequence settings" and it chooses a GoPro codec with a weird file extension (MXF).
    The closest I've gotten is H.264 "Match Source - High bitrate" but that's still 2.29GB
    Thanks,
    Phil

    i would guess the gopro MOV file that was sent to you is h264. you can adjust the bitrate on export to h264 from premiere so its smaller. if you want more compression with sightly better quality you will have to export as dnxhd/prores or even uncompressed and then use a program like handbrake to transcode to x264 or x265.
