Specified Crop and Bleed marks staying in place, when scaling in proportion?

Hello,
A colleague of mine asked me a question I could not figure out...
In CS5.5 and below, if he had a document that let's say had a .5" bleed and he printed the document at 50%, the bleed marks would also scale in proportion and be .25".
Now in CS6, the Bleed and Trim marks stay the original size/location no mater what the document is scaled?
Has anyone else seen this?
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?

Changing the Color of Crop and Bleed Marks from Registration to Black

Hello all,
I have been searching the web and have tried numerous things but I can't seem to solve this problem. In InDesign crop marks and bleed marks are printed in "Registration" color. I understand why that is needed for plate printing. However I am laser printing and I need those marks to be in "Black" color. I have tried to edit the cropmark script by changing "Registration" to "Black" on the line with myRegColor. I have tried changing the printer setting to "Pure Black". However I can't get the crop and bleed marks to print in "Black". I have been on various websites and while there are people asking the question I haven't found a answer that works. I have searched this community as well but haven't found an answer that I understand. Before I manually make crop marks I want to make sure I am not missing something completely obvious.
With laser printing there is a different charge for color and B&W. The fact that the crop marks are coming in as color and not black means B&W pages are counted as color in the printing cost. I have tested the same docuement (which was just one page full of sample black text) with and without crop/bleed marks. When the document is printed without the marks the printer clicks as a B&W page. When it is printed with the marks the printer click as a color page.
I am creating the doc in InDesign and exporting to Acrobat for printing. I am using Creative Cloud so I think I have the most up to date version of InDesign.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

With CS6 or later you can export to grayscale and in that case the crops will be black only. Like this:
You should set your Appearance of Black to Rich black otherwise 100% black CMYK might export to something less than 100% grayscale. When you check the PDF in Acrobat set the simulation profile to the grayscale profile you export to.

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!

Trim and bleed marks

I created my file in Photoshop but then I had to transfer it to Illustrator to create trim and bleed marks. I managed to add crop marks by creating a rectangle, placing it in the middle of my picture and selecting object/crop area/create.
However, when I try converting my file to PDF, none of my marks can be seen. I also tried setting everything up in print dialog box but nothing works. I am creating a file for commercial printing. I am using Photoshop and Illustrator CS3. I really need help with this. Any ideas on how to solve it would be great!!!
Thank you!

Thanks. I did try it the other way as well, but then my crop marks show out of artboard for some reason and I need to adjust them manually, hence changing the trim size, which I don't want. If I don't adjust them to appear on artboard then they don't show in PDF. That happens when I use the rectangle in trim size.
However, when I only use the command that you mentioned without creating a rectangle first then my crop marks show in the middle of my artboard, in other words, if it was to be trimmed to the right size, the crop marks would be seen on the printout after trimming. I hope this makes sense, but I've been trying to do this for two days now and I am losing my mind.

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!

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 to markup a layout so each area is exported as a different page on the pdf using the crop and bleeds

Hi, I work in the sign industry and I am looking at a way to streamline our preprint setup for artworks
the issue is that we will get an artwork that is 6m x 2m. This is to big to do in one print so we will chop it into 2-3 pieces and then print those.
this is currently done by laying out the full artwork in indesign then exporting it as a pdf. this pdf is then imported into illustrator where we will manually cutup the artwork using clipping masks (it has to be manual due to cuts in the artwork needing to managed so it doesn't go though text, ext).
ideally I would like to lay it out in indesign then markup this layout with boxes which show the areas to be cut out. then we I export I'd like indesign to export each box as its own pdf(or pages in one pdf) with cut marks and bleeds.
is this possible in indesign using say the slice tool? (the slice tool seems to be for html elements)
any help or suggest would be most welcome
Kind regards
Gareth

Hello gareth, not sure if the info' below will be of use, but I will give it a go.
Try this…
(I am using Indesign CS5.5)
1. Create your desired page size.
2. Then create 2 or 3 more pages
3. Open the pages window (from top menu - window - pages)
4. (fig 1) From the pages menu click top right down arrow to get the menu and uncheck ‘Allow Document Pages to Shuffle’.
5. (fig 2) From the pages menu, drag page 2 and 3 next to page 1, see fig 3 for result.
6. (fig 4) Place text/image across the pages you have created then save as a Pdf.

How do I change the refresh settings? I want the page to stay in place when I refresh.

I work with a website for work that is in list form. I have to refresh quite frequently and every time I do it takes me right back to the to of the page. I need the page to stay in place so I continue working in the same area.
Thank you.

How can you rotate the labels on the category axis of a graph in Illustrator and have it stay the same when updating the graph data?

I am needing to create a line graph with dates consisting of MM/DD/YY along the category axis. I would like to rotate the labels 45 degrees and have them stay when I update the graph. I have read about manually doing it, I even made an action to make it faster, but it still seems inefficient. Is there a setting that I could use to automatically create my labels as rotated? Thanks.

Hi Gravy Train,
I'm curious about why you are using 2 loops. You mentioned one is for monitoring and one is for DAQ....what do you mean by that? What is the overall goal of this piece of code. Also, I noticed that you are not closing the task. Since this is just a subset, I realize you could be closing it in your actual code, but just in case you're not.....it is very important that you close all tasks when you are down acquiring data.

A week or so ago I upgraded some apple software and now Safari drops my news bookmarks folder. I can restore it from Time Machine but it will not stay in place. Suggestions?

My iMac, running 10.10.3 seems to have an interesting issue. Since the last round of apple updates[ including photos 1.0]safari has been dropping my "News" bookmarks folder. It disappears on restart or when trying to add a bookmark to any folder. I am able to restore it with time machine and it will stay in place until all of a sudden .I notice it is once again gone. Restore and its back. Quite a pain in the butt. Any suggestions on a more permanent fix would be appreciated.

Thanks, wife has iPad on holiday so I could not check it. iCloud occurred to me but I am fairly new to it as prior to iPad we had no need of it. Thanks again Linc, I've tried it a couple of times this afternoon and it seems to be sticking around. Hugh

Illustrator 10: Marks and Bleeds

I'm using illustrator 10 to design some bumper stickers. To prepare for printing, the print company I'm using told me to expand the background at least 1/16 of an inch outside the setup box. Then when I'm saving the file to PDF format (save as), I was told to go to the marks and bleeds window on the settings panel and enter .0625 in the top, bottom, left, and right boxes. I can expand the background, but I don't see the marks and bleeds window when I'm saving to PDF? Am I missing something? I know there's a marks and bleeds window in CS3. If there's not one in Illustrator 10, how can I do accomplish what the printer wants? Thanks..

Thanks a lot for your reply but unfortunately the native files are
LiveCycle...

vioh94,
Â
If the native file is InDesign then in the Export -> PDF dialog, you will
find a tab on the left named Marks and Bleeds. Check the boxes for the
marks you require. The exported PDF will display all marks according to
the parameters you assigned in InDesign. You could also save the settings
as a new preset if the setting are used constantly. Illustrator CS4 too
has a similar functionality.
Â
As far as I know Illustrator CS3 is a bit more diificult as on export
cropmarks are assigned to the artboard size and bleeds marks have to
inserted manually. Very tedious work until the upgrade to CS4.
Â
I'm sure heaps of people would appreciate a solution to inserting bleed
marks in Illustrator CS3.

Basic printing questions with safe zones, trim lines and bleeds

I am working with a file that has safe zones, trim lines and bleeds. If I place something that touches the outer edges of the document at the bleed zone, how will it display if there is a trim line before it? Won't it be trimmed anyways?
Thanks.

Consider the bleed a precautionary measure in the case of registration variance when cutting the actual printed product.
So it should be cut off, but it may actually become visible (partially).

Qosmio X300 - Media keys and other lights stays on

Hi there,
I'm running Vista Bus 64 bit. For some reason all of the media keys and other lights stays ON.
When i press one of the media keys, it fades out and a few seconds later they fades back in again.
I have tried re-installing Value Added Package, but it did not resolve anything.
Can someone please help

You can manually turn them on and off by opening windows explorer and going to C:\Program Files\Toshiba\TBS and look for dimmer.exe when you click this it turns the lights on and off.
You could make a shortcut to this on your desktop if you cannot get proper functionality of the lights on/off button on the media key bar.

Can you save your crop/bleed marks as well as your slug when saving your Indeign document as an eps

Can you save your crop/bleed marks as well as your slug when saving your Indeign document as an eps

Let me guess: Your printer asked you to do this, right? Your printer is living in the 1990s and is probably trying to place this in a QuarkXPress file. And I'll suggest you should run, not walk, to find another more modern printer!
But, if you have to do it, you could export as a PDF file (including the marks, bleeds and slug). Then in Acrobat, choose File > Export (Acrobat 9 Pro) or File > Save as > Other Formats > Encapsulated PostScript (Acrobat X Pro).

InDesign CC 2014 Marks and Bleeds Issue

Hello Everyone,
So I'm trying to export this InDesign file into a PDF with the usual crops/marks/bleeds that I always use, but for some reason this time it isn't working right. I have my bleed settings to .125, my slug is at 0, my images have been dragged past the red crop line on the design file, but for some reason the crop marks are in the white outline area instead of inside the bleed like they're supposed to be. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here? This ad is due pretty soon so I would be most appreciative for quick replies!
Thanks,
Krystin

I set the export using document bleed settings. Below are images of the design file itself, my document setup, and my marks and bleeds settings in my export box. Thank you for all your help!
