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
Richard

You 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.

[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:

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?

"Warning your computer may infected" on a new tab popped up??

"Warning your computer may infected" on a new tab popped up, and just recently Ive been having many popup tabs with random things on them. When I tried to exit the Warning page, I got the warning that I may have two trojans on my computer. Is this a virus? How do I fix this? Please Help!

It's not a virus. It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily.
Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.

Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.

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!
Regards,

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.

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);

Add Printer Marks Offset

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.

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.

I used to be able to print labels for burned CDs with the cover being the playlist name and the other side the song titles...now the titles print out compacted, overlapping each other and illegible. I thought it was the printer but it happened w/1 other printer as well, which I used before for this exact thing w/no problem.

Try cleaning the print head with rubbing alcohol wipe, then replace your print head. Keep pushing the Ok.

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

How do I print the guides on artwork so that Printer will see crop marks?

I designed a wedding invitation in Photoshop CS3 and I need to send him samples of the artwork. I wanted to show him where the Guides are located so that he'll know where to do his cuts. I thought that I could should him where those cuts would go by including the Guides on the artwork. I saved the artwork as a jpeg.

I did a quick online search and came up with the following.

I have seen advice not to use crop marks in CS3....printer automatically doing that and in some cases charges for removing them. But, I have not been there and done that, so...

Is it possible to change warning "& is marked for deletion" to a hard error

As part of our periodic update of our bank directory in transaction BAUP, Bank Keys which are no longer valid are marked for deletion. We are not at the point where we are archiving records yet, so the actual deletion has not occurred in our system.
When an HR user updates a person's bank information (transaction PA20 or PA30, InfoType 09), if they enter one of these bank keys, they are given a warning that the bank key is marked for deletion. However, this is not a hard stop, only a warning message. As a result, they are able to save the record with an invalid bank key. The details indicate that this is message class F4, message 230. However, it appears from the IMG that it may be message 210. I have tried working with each of them.
I have attempted to change the message to a hard error in message control, but have not been able to do so. I receive an error telling me that "Message 230 (or 210) is not allowed". I have tried several application areas, including FV, Electronic Banking Messages.
Is there any way in configuration to change this to a hard error? If so, please supply details, including application area.
Also, are there risks of disruption of standard business processes if we do change this to a hard error? I know that this same message is issued for other master data elements which are marked for deletion such as GL accounts or Customer records,
Thank you.
I have searched forums with terms "marked for deletion" and "warning" but have not found an answer. I have also searched various outside expert forums on this topic. Everything I have seen seems to assume that this message will be a warning only.
