 | hi,
i use pagemaker 7 to design simple brochures. i then export the file to
create a pdf file ready for print. i have not been able for the life of
me to 'switch on' the crop marks option in acrobat so it shows me a
preview of the bleeds etc.
the instructions in help are very straight forward, yet when i follow
them the tick boxes in advanced print set up for crop marks and bleeds
and page information etc are greyed out and i am unable to click on any
of those functions.
could anyone suggest anything to me, what am i doing wrong?
many thanks, ania

Download the postscript driver from adobe
run the installer & set up a postscript file printer
from pagemangler
file/print & select postscript file
click the paper button
set paper size to bigger than your document & add some crop marks
print your document to a postscript file and drop it in to distiller

Then be more explicit about exactly what you're doing and maybe we can
figure out what's going wrong or not working as expected.
Are you using a "Paper Size" that is large enough to hold the page and
the printer's marks? What is the page size here? What paper size are
you using?
When you say that "opens up in acrobat without the crop marks", what
does that mean, exactly? If you open the file in Acrobat and choose
"Crop Pages", are all the values zero?
