Bug ID: 146934
Summary: Dedicated Crop Mark Tool is Needed
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I want to print the book I wrote in Writer via a print service. In order to
reach the edge of the paper, I used bleeding but printers cannot print right at
the edge of the paper.
Therefore, print services require crop marks on the document, they print a
larger area than the final document and then they cut the excess off.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to add crop marks to the document now. You
can add images to each corner and repeat them on every page but this solution
is very inconvenient.
It would be better to have a dedicated setting for this, as part of the page
style. It should put the 8 lines to the page where the settings say. The line
thickness should be 0.5pt.
See the attached document for an illustration.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create for "L" shaped images in GIMP
2. insert them into the header of the page
Actual Results:
It does the job but is too complicated, especially if you have dozens of styles
in the document.
Expected Results:
There should be an easier way for adding crop marks.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Please see the attached sample document.
