Molly, If I'm creating a PDF of a book, I always create a single PDF from the book file. That's where I use the settings I noted in my first message.
I vaguely recall something else that I saw once, but I'm not remembering it fully. Are you looking at the PDF only online? Try printing a page. This vague memory relates to not seeing the crop marks online, because the page size was set to the 7x9 size or whatever it was in Acrobat, but when printed on 8.5 x 11 paper, the crop marks were there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linda G.

They did not work for the multi-document book I'm working on. Is there perhaps a difference when adding registration marks to a book instead of a single file? Am I going about this in the wrong way? Do others generate books as a single pdf or as a file with many pdfs included within it? Molly -----Original Message----- From: Linda G.

For whatever reason (I suspect someone will fill us in), you can't get registration marks with that option turned on. Hope this helps! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linda G.

The publisher we use understandably needs registration marks on our pdf file to know where to trim the pages for publishing. My problem is this- I have figured out how to insert the registration marks when I convert to a pdf using the save as>pdf method. My boss, however, insists that I convert the book to a post script file and then distill to a pdf, which as far as I can tell removes the registration marks from the document- at least they don't appear in the pdf. I have been so frustrated for so long on this issue. Does anybody know how to insert the registration marks on the Frame files before converting to a post script and still have them appear on the pdf? I have searched through several months of archives of this list and only found one thread on this topic that had advice that didn't work for me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
