Putting printer marks "outside" a document

Hi there,
I received a Word document which I have to adopt so that it can be printed.
The PDF document itself has a size of 210mm*210mm, which is the size I am looking for. If I do add printer marks, I obviously lose almost 2cm horizontal and vertical. However, this is not the intent. So there are two ways: Messing around with Words paper size or messing around with the PDF. I would prefer latter option, because changing papersizes in Word means pain and headaches.
So the most obvious idea is: Can I add a white margin at each side of the document, and then just get my trimmings right and put the printer marks?
I searched the Internet, and found some people thinking about a background, others about using PitStop, but none of these did the job so far.
Any ideas?
Kind regards
Thorben

Thank you very much. Just so that people who have the same problem know what I did in detail:
Advanced > Print Production > Crop Pages
Then at the bottom, change page size
I wanted to add 1cm at each side of my 21*21cm document, so i put in 23*23cm
And that's it

[Solved] Adding Printer Marks to a Pages document in Acrobat

By "Printer Marks" I mean "bleeds" and "crop marks".
A bleed is the area of the paper that will be trimmed off after the job is printed.
Crop marks indicate the exact place where the paper is to be trimmed.
Background:
I normally do programming and web development, but, after having spent about three hours fiddling around tryng to transform our Pages-made brochure into something to send to commercial printers, I thought I'd record the process so as not to waste so much time on the next occasion we do something similar.
I thought I'd share this with other Pages users because Pages has no native support for Printer Marks and PDF files contain this as metadata, so a commercial printer will expect this to be properly set up. I believe their printers may even read the PDF metadata.
Required:
Pages and Acrobat Pro. (I have Pages '09 and Acrobat 9 Pro - updated from the one originally distributed with Adobe CS3)
Recipe:
Set up a custom page size in Pages.
e.g. For an A4 sheet size (210 x 297 mm), the Pages "Page Setup" should specify 220 x 307 mm allowing for a 5mm bleed all round.
'Print' the document to 'Adobe Acrobat PDF' (which, for me, automatically opens up Acrobat Pro 9)
In Acrobat, go to: Advanced >> Print Production >> Crop Pages
The excellent article at http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/page_boxes explains the Acrobat box model and points out that PDF files will embed this important info for the printer:
The Trimbox (defining the intended dimensions of the finished page): e.g. A4
the BleedBox and the MediaBox which are e.g. 5mm bigger all round the A4 sheet and will contain the Printer Marks.
So: You only need to edit the margins of the Trimbox on "All Pages". Acrobat will add the Printer Marks outside the TrimBox.
Ensure no other margins are accidentally edited.
The MediaBox is the imported page size and is not editable in the Crop Pages dialog
The Bleedbox you wil most likely want to be the same as the Mediabox so won't need editing. Ensure it's 0,0,0,0.
The TrimBox is editable - and should be edited - here (e.g. add 5mm 'margins' all round to allow for the bleed.)
Click OK: Now if you specified margins for the CropBox …. but why would you? ... but this may be default Acrobat behaviour! .. you will have cropped out the screen area where the Printer Marks will be displayed.
Go to Advanced >> Print Production >> Add Printer Marks
I didn't check "All Marks" because I had a spurious Registration? "capstan" added in the middle of a page on one occasion. I checked Trim Marks, Bleed Marks and Color Bars. … on "All Pages".
Click OK; Command+S to save file.
Good to go!

Use the Add Printer Marks tool:

Remove print marks

I'm new at this - is there a way to remove existing print marks from a document?

These marks mean there's a text field there with more text in it than can be displayed on the screen at one time.
There are many possible solutions:
- Flatten the document
- Remove the text field
- Hide the text field
- Edit the text in it
- Edit the size of the field
- Edit the font size
- Choose not to print form fields
- etc.

Kunwar

Hi Kunwar,
first check, Have you created message for all the documents and what is the dispatch time in the message. You have to select option no. 3 ( send with application own transaction) for output type WE03.
SPRO >> Materials Management >> Inventory Management & Physical Inventory >> Output Determination >> Maintain Output types >> Click on Output type go to default values and set the dispatch time as 3
Hope this will help you.

Hi,
for more information about layout options in forms, go to your form in transaction SFP, layout view and choose Help -> Adobe LifeCycle Designer Help. There you find information on page layout, e.g. " Objects can be placed anywhere on a master page, inside or outside the content area. As a general rule, do not place objects inside the content area unless your intention is to have other objects laid down on top of the master page objects when the form is rendered. If you are setting up a watermark, place it inside the content area. "
Besides, there's an Adobe forum where you might get more information for such Adobe questions.

Can we print multiple excise invoice documents with one click?

Hello,
SAP has provided with t-code 'J1IP' for printing excise invoice documents. But for printing multiple documents we need to click print button each time for every new document. is there any other way by which you can print bulk excise documents without clicking print button each time?
Thanks in advance.
Neha

Hi Neha,
It is possible on SAPB1.
Try to Use the Document Printing Window on Financials or Marketing or Banking Module..
Try this,
->> Financials.
-> Choose Document Printing.
->> Open the Document Printing Window.
->> Select the Document Type - Incoming (or) Outgoing Excise Invoice.
for example, IF you Select the Document Type - Incoming Excise Invoice.
->> Select the require Series.
-> your requirement wise, put the tick mark of Open Only or &Only Documents Still to Be Printed.
->> put the Posting Date From Date & To Date.
->> Assign the No. of Copies - 1 or Your wishes.
->> Click the OK button, than will Open the Print Incoming Excise Invoice Window.
->> Choose all Incoming Excise Document (select all row).
->> Click the Print button.

How to get track changes to put vertical marks in margin.

I have a massive collection of documents to amend, but our regulator will only accept amended documents where the changes are marked with a vertical bar in the margin.
I have managed this in Pages once in the past by importing a word document with this feature turned on, but have never managed it again, or managed it within a document created in pages.
Is it possible?
If anyone can spare the pain and misery of converting all these table filled documents into word, I would be most grateful!

Hello fruhulda
I disagree with the statement :
Pages doesn't have a feature which create vertical marks in the margin, but you can always use the Line shape, rotate it to be vertical and put in in the margin. It will not print when in the document margin.
The main text layer can't expand in margins but floating items may print.
I use this feature when I want to number lines of text.
In most iWork templates, the margins are wider that the non-printable physical printers requirements.
I'm sure of what I wrote for iWork '09.
I didn't checked with iWork '08.

Run MB02 transaction, enter material document number. Double click one line item and select messages. Separate screen will be opened to configure outputs. Give the required fields and save the document. Now Run MB90, you can take printout. Output Type: WE03 - Collective slip
Note:
Check following are some of steps for GR collective printing
1. Maintain the Printer Name in SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Printer Setting
2. Ensure that in SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Item Print Indicator, 1 stands for Matl Doc print out
3. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Print Version, maintain Print Version 2
4. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Maintain Print Indicator for GI/Transfer Posting Documents
5. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Output Determination->Maintain Output Types, for the Output types WE01, WE02 and WE03, ensure the foll:

Adding printer marks the quick way

Is my workflow sound?
I print a magazine that has many many ads submitted by clients via pdf and the ads invariably fail to contain printer marks, have no bleed set and are of improper page size. The ads are big enough to cover the proper page size and extend past the bleed but in order to add printer marks I have to set the art box, trim box, crop box and bleed box in Acrobat and then afterwards I can add printer marks. This is time consuming when you are dealing with over 300 ads and you have a deadline.
So, I just place and center the pdf in an empty InDesign document that has the proper page size and the proper bleed and just export it back to PDF using a preset that include printer marks. Easy Peasy.
My question is should I set Output (in the Export to PDF dialog box) to "No Color Conversion" since they are already cmyk pdfs? If I leave it to "Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers) - which is my default - I assume that is fine too since the incoming ads are already separated for US Web Coated SWOP 2 and that is my default cmyk working space. I shouldn't have to worry about color changes either way correct?
I also set compression to none in the Export to PDF dialog box since the ad was already exported to pdf once already.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
-Mark

Are all of these ads supposed to be full page w/ bleed? I've never understood why anyone would want marks or bleeds on anything that wasn't.
In any case, I can't see that adding marks to one of these ads before you place it is of much use to you. If you are presuming the centering when you add the marks, just presume that when you place the ad in the magazine (but perhaps I've misunderstood and that's what you are doing). There's no benefit to any intermediate addition of fictitious marks.
I would export the magazine using whatever your normal settings are. Preserve numbers is safe, it won't make rich black type, but colors will shift if the wrong space was used to create the ad. No conversion is probably not a good idea on the off chance that there are spot or RGB colors included -- you never know...
I also would use the refular compression settings you normally use. I've been told that ID "internalizes" placed PDF and handles the compression on the images just as if they were placed directly. It won't compress them more unless the original settings were higher than the ones you use.

2110 all-in-one not printing all text in documents

My printer has stopped printing all parts of documents. It just seems to skip certain parts of word documents, excel spreadsheets, pdfs, etc. And, if I print the same document more than once, different parts of the document will print, but never the whole thing.

Hi,
I am not sure if you have the F2110 Deskjet All-in-One or the PSC2110 All-in-One, but I think the solution would be the same for either one.
It appears that you might have low ink in your black cartridge. You might want to check ink levels and see if it is low black ink.

Removing printer marks

how do you remove printer marks from your PDF
document?

ChrisMercianLabels wrote:
In case it helps find the solution, the issue can be re-created by:
1) Create a new Illustrator document with 1 artboard (number not important) and add some random shapes to it.
2) Save the document as a PDF and under the Marks and Bleeds section tick the "All Printer's Marks".
3) Create a new Illustrator document (again the number of artboards is not important).
4) Place your previously created PDF in step 2 into your new document.
5) Embed the PDF.
Okay, all is normal up to this point.
6) By either using the Direct Selection Tool and clicking down into the grouped image, delete the printer marks so you are just left with the random shapes created in step 1.
This is where the discrepancy must creep in. The placed PDF with printer's marks comes in as a "clipping group" contained in a rectangle the size of its original artboard + printer's marks. It's possible the printer's marks themselves bring along some nested clipping paths too. How certain are you that you are deleting everything but the "random shapes created in step 1"? If you are not releasing the clipping path(s) and/or un-grouping anything, it's very possible you're leaving frames which have no stroke and no fill.
7) Now try centring the artwork to the artboard and depending on which alignment option you choose the artwork will shift to the right or down.
Do you work with "edges" or "bounding box" visible? When you select the artwork to align, does the bounding box tightly surround the objects, or is it still the size of the original placed PDF?

C-Plus API for turning off Registration (Printer) marks - not working

FrameMaker 7.1 on Windows 7 using Acrobat 11 – Need to print many books to single PDF files – Save as PDF works fine – however some books have Registration (Printer) marks – Can turn this off manually but not via code – Tried
F_ApiSetInt( FV_SessionId, docId, FP_PDFRegistrationMarks, FV_PDFRegistrationMarksNone)
– also tried on session and book
– anyone know how this can be done?
Or even just changing the default settings for everything – the setting seems to be on the book – I assume I have to make the change and save the book and then save as – the code does not give an error but does not work – any help would be great – thank you
I do not have the option to upgrade anything at this time.

Seemed to need to set for each document in the book. Doing the following per document in the book solved my problem.
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_DocAcrobatElements, False);
// 1.2 R.G. 05-15-14 added - to use paragragh names instead of elements for bookmarks
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFBookmark, True);
// 1.2 R.G. 05-15-14 added - so bookmarks are generated
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFBookmarksOpenLevel, FV_PDFBookmarksOpenAllLevels);
// 1.2 R.G. 05-15-14 added - so PDF opens showing all levels of bookmarks
F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFRegistrationMarks, FV_PDFRegistrationMarksNone);
//F_ApiSimpleSave(docId, name, False); // save this document
F_ApiSimpleSave(docId, F_ApiGetString(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_Name), False);

Help: How to crop (to PDF print) a full bleed document?

I have a document which is sized for full bleed printing. I would also like to make PDF prints of this document, but if I simply print, then everything will be off by a little. Is there a non-destructive way to 'crop' the document back to the paper size?

Do Save a copy, PDF, and in the Marks and Bleeds section, uncheck the printers marks, uncheck Use Document Bleed.
Unless I am not understanding...
