Clifford,
I just did everything you and Rich suggested. (I am on a PC, BTW)
1. clicked on registration in Quark
2. added a .125 bleed in Quark
3. chose PDF as my printer in Quark
I don't, however, see a way to change my document size up an inch as Rich
suggests. I looked in properties under PDF page size but it only allows
pre-set sizes. I chose 11 x 17 just for giggles but that didn't work.
And after I produce the PDF I see a complete 8.5 x 11 image with no visible
bleeds or crop marks as you suggest I should see.
BTW, I am using the export as PDF method right out of Quark.
Ok, so it isn't so obvious...to dumb old me.

In Quark, in the print menu/on the bleed tab did you include an amount of
bleed when postscripting out of Quark? Or if you exported a pdf out of
Quark in the Export as PDF Menu did you select the Options Menu? In the
options menu you will need to go to the Output tab, then at the bottom of
the menu change bleed type to Symmetric and enter a bleed amount there. If
you didn't supply the bleed from Quark then you are not going to have it
within the pdf. Then once the pdf is created check it in Acrobat or
Acrobat Reader visually to see if the bleeds were included. Any easy way
to check this is to make sure that you are including registration and crop
marks, and you will visually see the bleed extended beyond the crop marks.

How do you make sure your file includes bleeds? The printer said it didn't.
I converted a Quark 5.01 file with Acrobat 6.0 Pro.
Thanks. Brad
