Booklet .pdf with crop marks, booklet doesn't fit the current paper size warning

Hello. I am on XP using CS4 InDesign.
I have the document set up as 4 pages, each 8.5 x 11, however, when creating a booklet .pdf, I mean it to be 2 pages 11x17.
When I add in the crop marks they do not appear on the .pdf when it is created. I receive a warning in the booklet diaglog that the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size and it says to specify a larger paper size.
What can I do to have the crop marks on my file? I understand the .pdf will be a little larger than 11x17 in order to fit the crop marks.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi Peter,
Thank you. I did try that first, but now I figured out what I did wrong. When the .pdf was made and opened, I cropoped the page according to the marks, but the page remained 12 x 18 instead of 11x17. I made sure that the "automatically adjust to fit marks and bleeds" and "use document bleed settings" was checked in the booklet dialog and print InDesign dialog.
When I cropped the page again to make sure I sized it correctly, it was 11x17.
Thank you!!!

  • A5 booklet  "doesn't fit the current [A4] paper size". What's wrong?

    Hi,
    Sorry, I'm new to InDesign, and am having a bit of a freakout over a booklet I need to complete by this afternoon.
    The page sizes are all A5. I try to print with A4 paper settings and the preview looks okay, but says underneath "the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size". Obviously A5, A4, it should fit perfectly, as  it looks to in the preview. When I actually print it the pages are slightly jumbled - 3 with 24  (of 24 pages), 4 with 23 etc., with the centrefold 12-13 split (12-15, 13-14).
    Any idea what's going on here? Is it something to do with crop areas? I can't work it out.
    Thank you! An enormous amount of gratitude to anyone who can help me fix this.

    OH HEY  it's suddenly saying it's fine now, even though the  only thing I've changed is to add a  bit  of  text, nothing that should fundamentally affect the structure. Thanks InDesign!

  • Saving as PDF with crop marks.

    I'm trying to create a Printready PDF from my Structured FM file. I recently upgraded to FM9.
    With earlier versions of FM we've had issues with colours not exporting correctly from FM, and I've had to print .ps files, run a colour correction script and then open the files as .pdf. Due to a limitation of my colour correction script I could only print 5-10pgs at a time. Which made the process very time consuming.
    I pitched the upgrade to FM9 to my boss because when I initially tested the trial version and used the 'save as PDF' function, the colours came up correct without having to use the colour correction script.
    HOWEVER, now that I'm trying to create printready PDF's of my document, via the save as PDF function, I'm not getting crop marks/registration marks on my files.
    On the PDF Setup Dialog box I have 'Western' choosen under Registration Marks. (Screen Shot attached)
    Initally I thought it could be because I had the page size set to the exact page size I wanted, but I've tried making the page size bigger and they still don't seem to appear.
    Hopefully this is an easy question and I've just missed something simple!

    Caveat CMYK!
    Unfortunately, it's still not completely reliable. There are issues with quite a number of OTF Pro fonts not rendering correctly, and with spot colour tints and table fills that use spot colours.
    The upgrade to from COlourChameleon to PubliPDF may be still worth considering...
    Also, with your crop mark issue, how big is the page size compared to the output size that you specifed in the PDF Setup? You have to add at least 1cm to the page size to give it room to place the crop marks.

  • 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! 

    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?

    I have a PDF with a diagram, I need to translate the text so I open it in Illustrator.  The document opens up vertically oriented  I try to put it horizontal to be able to read and change the text  However everything I have done is not working  The artboard does change, but the diagram stays vertical.....Please help  I need to finish that for today..Please help

    A PDF usually consists of one to an indefinite number of clipping masks inside each other.
    You need to be very carefull with selecting stuff.
    So you need to read the manual on how to select stuff and on the basics of Illustrator.
    On top of that: because of the complex hierarchy of PDF files, it is kind of difficult to help you without seeing anything.

    Hello,
    How can I give a answer back in the discussion on Adobe.com?
    I don’t see any link?
    1.      We have a subscription.
    2.      Im converting a newsletter from the web to PDF.
    3.      Sometimes I put a weblink behind the image in the newsletter. Most of the time PDF wont take the links behind the image.
    Only the tekstlinks are OK.

  • Workspace doesn't fit the screen anymore...

    Hello.
    Since today (and Mac OS X's update I installed this morning, I guess), my Photoshop CS6 workspace doesn't fit the screen of my 12 inch Cintiq (connected to a 2014 Macbook Air).  No matter what I do, it keeps it wrong.
    Trying to set the photoshop window to the whole Cintiq screen with the "green" Mac OS corner button, this is what I get:
    Hitting F won't do the trick, this is what it gets me:
    I tried to clear the Photoshop prefs, without success.  I checked for updates and found there was a Photoshop update I had not yet installed, and I did install it, to no success.  Needless to say, this makes my copy of Photoshop most unusable, which is a really big problem for an illustrator like me.  I really wish I can solve this as soon as possible.
    Thanks.

    Yeah, no results. Still the same.
    If I take my main window and move it up by myself, it's just gonna stay there until the next click somewhere, then it gets back to this wrong placement,.

  • Battery failure although my battery doesn't fit the exchange program?

    hello there!
    i know there have been a lot of threads about the battery life and failures in the macbook pro but i don't know which one fits my case...
    my mbp is a week 13 and has no problems at all. i don't use the battery that often - by now i have 14 cycles.
    my battery's serial number doesn't fit the exchange program but today happened this odd thing:
    i used my mbp on battery for less than two hours and the battery symbol said that i still have about 50 minutes of battery power. all of a sudden it turned off (as described in many other threads) without any warning and i couldn't turn it on without plugging in the power cable. when i turned it on it started from deep sleep mode (dimmed desktop).
    ...of course i did reset the pram and stuff - but what is going on? as i said i don't meet the exchange program for faulty batteries but still it doesn't seem to work proper.
    what can i do?
    thanks in advance, guys!
    j.

    hi and thank you all for your replies so far!
    over the weekend i took some screenshots showing the various total of mAh. i have no idea if that is normal like this? and the battery is behaving normal again, no random shutdown... you can find the images under the following link...
    http://www.propaganda-pixel.de/mbp/mbp.htm
    in addition i added a photo of my magsafe... now that it comes to the battery issue i got slightly concerned if this crimpy cord should be like this (not that this thing starts to melt on me!).
    when i transport my mbp i wind the cord around those two hooks and i never pull the magsyfe by the cord out. but still it looks like this.
    the power cord is from a week 10 macbook pro which i got exchanged for a week 13 but i had to keep the cord...
    i know, this has nothing to do with the battery issue and no, i'm not paranoid - just now that i started this thread i thought i could add it...
    so my questions are:
    - shall i request a new battery considering the various mAh indications?
    - shall i request a new power cord? or does mine look normal?
    why i ask is because i don't want to request something when there is no need for a replacement.
    thank you all!

    I assume you don't have a backup on an external HD. You always should, because then you could easily fix your problem.

  • PDF with Question marks : Critical

    We are facing one issue in the production .
    In our application we are generating PDF using FOP. Now this functionality is working fine on the staging server but same is giving problem on the production server.
    On the staging/ UAT server PDF is generated fine, but same PDF is generated with question marks (?) in the production.
    I am not able to add the pdf files over here. One is generated on the staging server and other is generated on the staging one is containing Question marks.
    I will show the relevant parts where there are differences:
    ABC, Inc. (Buyer) on UAT but ABC? (Buyer)
    It seems to me that the spaces are being converted to ? marks...
    Any suggestions on this are welcome

    A simple solution would be to add "fake" crop and registration marks in full inking to your design, then convert to PDF. (I did that for a CD cover I made on a laptop with "just" Photoshop.
    When you purchase Acrobat, you get an acrobat print driver, so I guess you can print with the crop and registration marks in the Ps output settings...

  • Interactive pdf with movies/swf files doesn't work in up-to-date Acrobat Reader

    Hi, I've a CS6 InDesign doc with movies (MP4's from a URL) and a few swf files. When exporting as an interactive pdf, all the links, movies, swf's work fine in my Acrobat Pro. They work fine on other peoples PC's with Acrobat Pro. But on all my clients PC's with up to date Reader, the movies are playing slow, and the pdf just doesn't work as expected. With links to next page etc not working either. They have up dated their Flash Player too. Still not working well.
    Is there a magic fix? Can I re-save this pdf differently so they can experience all the interactive features properly?
    I created a similar pdf last year from CS5, but adding in the movies & links on the pdf. Do I have to do this again?
    Yours, mostly quite fed uply, Gina !

    Is it possible that your client's PC is just a very slow machine? You might consider cutting out some of the interactivity if your PDF is to complex to be handled by less powerful machines.

  • Exporting to pdf with page marks and color separations

    Hi All.,
    I have a requirement to export the current document as PDF file. I am using the export provider with the service registry to export the document as pdf file. The code works successfully. Now I have a requirement where I need to save the pdf with color separations and page marks. First I need some information on what does page marks and color separations actually mean for a pdf file. And second I need to know how this could be achieved. Do I have to set some preferences? I have tried setting preference for color , bleed and it works. But I am not sure whether this satisfies the requirement. I would be thankful if someone would suggest me on the same.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    In my experienced it cant, you can export it to pdf but you dont have the ability to make it fillable, unless doing it manually, from the exported pdf, install an Adobe Professional software to have capability to save data's.
