How to to print an .indd document with a border around the edge?

I have an Indesign document that I want to print with a slight border around the edge.
I print this after exporting it as a PDF. But when I choose the various combinations of 'print printer's marks' in the export settings, none of them seem to work.
I want just a simple thin border line around the edge of the document to print. I don't want the interior body to print (which it sometimes does).
I know this can be done, because on some of my .indd documents it works... but I can't figure out what I did to get it to print that way.
HELP!
and thanks....

Thanks... the visible guides setting change took away the purple interior rectangle.
But it still doesn't print the border outline.
Here in text form is a summary of the .indd file settings that does print a border correctly, as I like it to.
The relevant paragraph under Marks and Bleed has crop marks off... and document bleed settings on.
I wonder what I'm missing? Sometimes I wished Adobe just used plain english... like 'print border outline of document'!
Thanks!

How can I print a booklet without a white outline around the border?

How can I print a booklet without a white outline around the border? I'd like the front page to be covered entirely.

You either need a borderless printer, or you have to print on oversize paper and trim off the bleed.

How can I print from my IMAC with Mavericks OS to the Canon MP560 printer's rear tray?

I have just moved from a Windows platform to Imac. On Windows, in Word, I was able to select where the paper was feeding (automatically select, rear tray, etc.) but now I can't select rear tray. I've already tried the "Quality & Media" under presets but was not given an option to change where the paper comes from. Can anybody help?

You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

How can I print a PDF document?

That states that the PDF touch app doesnt support printing which is a technically true as it doesnt have a button/option to print from the app but doing a crtl-p (this is on a full PC version of win8 not RT) brings up the print dialogue and its prints fine.

How can I print with black border around edge of image?

I'd like to add a black border around the edge of certain images I'm printing. I know it's fairly trivial in Lightroom, but I can't see where this option is in Aperture. Is this lacking in Aperture, or am I just missing it? Many thanks.
PS -- I'm aware there are some plug-ins that claim to do this, so if Aperture can't do this, please feel free to chime in with comments on the best plug-in for this task.

Aperture BorderFX 1.1
Thanks, Rich. That's a good plug-in, and does cover what I need (with lots of other features, too). The problem, though, is it requires an export of the image, which I then have to either print from another application, or reimport to Aperture to print. I was hoping to find something that will either just apply the border to the print job, or that would serve as more of an Edit With . . . type of plug-in than an Export plug-in, so I can keep everything in one place. Thanks again.

How to take print of attached document in PO

Hi,
In ME21N or ME22N, by clicking on "Services for Object" button on the extreme left side of the screen. We can attach any document (This is just below the transaction bar)
I want to know how we can take the print of attached document with the PO itself.
If anybody is having idea about this please share.
My main issue is here user is having 2/3 page word document with each PO that he has to send to vendor.
Everytime he has to write all the things in PO. So i had suggested to attach the file itself but now issue is of print.
If you are having any other option please tell.
Regards,
Umesh Agrawal

Dear,
Since for each purchase order you are creating, a 2, 3 page text has to be attached in attachments.
It is not possible to print purchase order and attachments at the same time. This must be 2 step process, first to print purchase order and next to attachments.
For your situation, try to make purchase order and in item text window, simply copy and paste your 2,3 pages word note to the last line item of purchase order.
For ex. if you have 6 line items in PO, select the last line item and go to Texts in item details and copy paste you word contents.
For seperation of line items and text to vendor you can include some special character indication like below:
SPECIAL NOTES / DIRECTIONS / VENDOR INSTRUCTIONS
This will reduce your routine work of printing PO and attachments seperately. If you do like above, you will get the print of the Purchase order together with text at a time. I tried this.

Syed Hussain.

How can I print on a Document that I have Scanned and is on my computer and then print it.

And what exactly? How did you scan? What "document"? What system? You need to be a lot more specific, especially since it is absolutely not clear what Adobe software has to do with it.

How do I print a Numbers document? All I get is the heading!

How do I print a Numbers document on my Mac? All I get is the heading!

Hi L,
What do you see after Menu > File > Print?
Are you using Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) or Numbers 3.1?
Please reply with a screen shot of a small part of your screen (large shots are often difficult to read).
To take a screen shot,
1. hold down the shift and command keys, then type 4. The cursor will change to crosshairs. Release the shift and command keys.
2. Drag over that part of your screen then release the mouse/trackpad. A screen shot will appear on your desktop.
3. In a reply to a message, click on the camera icon in the Toolbar above your reply and
4. Choose File > Choose > Insert Image.
If this does not work, Close the Insert Box (red cross on the top right) and go back to Step 3. Camera icon sometimes needs a wake-up call, but works the second time.
Remove any personal details before taking the screen shot.
Regards,
Ian.

This is usually a function of the driver you're using. Have you looked in the various PDEs for black and white or grayscale? What kind of printer are you using?

How do I print multiple (4) photos on one page with a border around each?

How do I print multiple photos on one page with a border around each? I've gone the contact sheet route and adjusted the number of columns but there's only outer margins and very little white space between the photos down the middle of the page.

Ok, now I feel stupid! I always thought I was printing 6 x 4 but now I realise I can't have done!!
The photos that I used to print are approx. 5.2" x 4" (i.e. 4 fitted nicely on a page & I had to cut the boarder off).
I guess I just need to play with different sizes under the 'custom' option in order to get the biggest possible picture!
Thanks for the help

How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
The second is a bit trickier.

Numbers does not have rotated text within cells. You can place a text box over the cell that has rotated text but you cannot rotate text within a cell.

Hi
As such there is no such standard feature but what you can do is to get the small ABAP code written , which will activate on the saving of the document. Please note this may slow down the process.
Alternate, There is option of executing report S_ALR_87012287 at line item level which can be taken on daily or weekly basis .
