Removing printer marks
how do you remove printer marks from your PDF
document?

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?

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. -
Removing printer offsets from PDF pages
I accidently set up a printer page offset when creating PDF pages from Word Perfect X3. Is there a way to remove the offset, or do I need to go back to the original WP pages (which I can't find!)?
I recreated a page and made sure there were no offsets listed. The PDF page still prints offset. I found sources to recreate the page, displayed codes, and removed anything marked as offset. There is still an offset to the left when pre-print displaying either the source page or the PDF version.

Remove crop marks from AI CS2 doc?
Hi,
I resized my document from a 8.5 x 11 to a 11 x 14 and then scaled the business card on it up 280% to fit in the new document size in Adobe Illustrator CS2. Everything is working fine except that my existing crop marks for the business card stayed the same size as the business card 3.5 x 2 so how do I remove these? I don't need them anymore.
I will be having this printed so do I need to insert print marks or anything like that?
Thanks in advance,
ashmic19It worked! Thanks so much ScottW. I have no idea what it did but it worked. Thanks again!

Remove Printer stuck in Windows 8
Windows 8 won't let me remove printer definitions that are not working. Going into Control Panel/Devices and Printers and following the "remove printer" dialog results in some cases in the printer entering a permanent "being removed" status. I think it may have something to do with failed print jobs still being stuck in the queue for the printer in question.
Is there a way of forcibly removing unwanted printers?
If the problem is indeed due to stuck print jobs, how do I get rid of these?Try using the Print Management tool.....follow these steps and let me know if this works
Try these steps from the Start Screen
1. Access the Charms bar (The pop out bar on the right hand side of the screen)
2. Select Settings
3. Under Settings select Tiles
4. Ensure show administrative tools is selected to Yes
5. On the Start Screen select Print Management tile
6. Once the tool opens look to the left and select custom filters
7. Select All Drivers
8. Select your printer right click then select delete
9. Under customer filters select All Printers
10. If you see your printer there select it and right click and select delete.
11. At this point I would suggest you restart you PC

Can I remove crop marks with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI
Can I remove crop marks using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?
Mylenium, I hate to ask, but in Acrobat XI, where do I find the Crop Pages feature?
In the right sidebar, under Tools > Pages, I see a Crop command. This seems to allow me to draw a box, but it does not seem very precise.
Under Print Production, I see a Set Pages Boxes command. I can't figure out how this works. I can choose Trim from a pop-up menu and guides show up where they should, but they just disappear when I click OK. (Also, the margin numnbers in that box get set to zero after doing tha; but, I digress.)
So, how can I just accurately trim the page to the trim area?
Thank you! -

[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:

Acrobat 9 pro, crashes with Printer Marks
In Acrobat 9 pro, open the PDF file, add the Printer Marks for “Trim” and “Registration”, save the file and close the acrobat. Wait for few minutes and the acrobat crash occurs. Attached the screen shot. Please let know the solution for this issue.
Good day,
I'd like to confirm a few things:
What action/activity are you performing in Acrobat when it crashes?
Is the crash consistent at the same point?
You stated in the subject '..after upgrading to 10.6.7'
What OS was on your iMac when you purchased it?
Was this problem occuring when using an earlier verion of 10.6.x?
Have you applied to font update Apple released to address some of the problems they introduced with 10.6.7?
Did you perform a clean install of Acrobat on your iMac after you purchased it or was the application transferred in some way?
I hope we can get this resolved for you!

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.
-MarkAre 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. -
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

When using the 'Add Printer Marks' feature under Print Production tools, is there a way to set the offset of the resulting marks from trim? I get files every day that have no marks and the marks that this feature create just don't work. The offset appears to be only about .040". It needs to be 0.125" for most jobs. You can edit object on the marks after creation in Illustrator but that would be way too much work on a multi page file.
Is there a simple Acrobat plug in that would have this feature other than Pitstop available
Thanks.You cannot adjust the printer marks offset in the 'Set Page Boxes' under
Print production. I need to know how to change the offset of the 'Default'
setting in the Add Printer Marks feature. Making the Quark Express marks the
default would also suffice.
Thanks.

Warning "Printer marks may overlap artwork..."
The full warning is "Printer marks may overlap artwork. You may need to expand the Crop box using the Crop dialog."
I am getting this warning when adding printer marks to a PDF created from Xpress. No amount of expanding the crop box has helped. If I select "OK" I do get the desired crop marks the problem arises when I try to batch this action. In Batch Process I replicate what I need the outcome though is a page with no marks. Guessing this warning is flushing the rest of the process.
I have quite a number of multi-chapter documents going to a Docutech. Though they don't need crops for finals, they do need them for proofing rounds.
Any ideas...
Thanks
RichardYou will get that "error message" any time you add printers marks onto a page, regardless of how much white space you've added around it using the crop pages dialogue. As for batching the action, I don't know why it wouldn't work, as the files I've done this to, albeit significantly smaller, have worked.
