My method has worked perfectly for 30 years for literally hundreds of professional print jobs. It is so much easier than fiddling round with Artboards, PDFs and crops, IMHO and always works exactly as expected. I have accumulated dozens of templates with two up images or four up images and crop marks, plus 10 or 12 up business cards, etc (not in Designer yet, sadly). There is no particular reason why you cant draw the crop mark lines by hand, but I'm a bit lazy and find the two box method quicker and easier. Note, you don't need to apply bleed when outputting or anything like that, it is all done on the Designer page. Basically, the white boxes just mask the corners of the boxes. The black boxes are for the crop lines, but the lines must not come to the edge of the invite or they will show on the invite. how did you do it? All I see is lots of "rectangle" layers and I have no idea how you actually achieved that! If I can preset pages like that, I will love you forever! Single invite file you gave me with the crop marks inserted is great. ![]() Then I exported and saved. When I opened the PDF document in Preview, the crop marks are still outside the bleed area!! (I double clicked on the picture so it turned pink so I could see the picture area).Ħ. 15cm off each side and insert the crop marks. I went into the more tab and ticked "include bleeds" and "include crop marks", thinking that it will take into account the. Then I went into document set up and set the bleed to 0.15cm (15mm).Ĥ. Then I inserted the invite, which covers the whole document size (it's preset at 13.2 x 18.3).ģ. So I created the document size using the 13.2cm x 18.3cm.Ģ. So including the 1.5mm bleed, the size goes up to 13.2cm by 18.3cm. The size of the invite is actually 12.9cm x 18cm. ![]() Firstly, I created a new document the size of the invites including the bleed edge. Addition to your post, I tried just playing with one invite and seeing how I could get a bleed edge with crop marks to the actual size, but everytime I exported, the crop marks were outside the bleed! I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
