That's the question I have been using PageMaker for Many years and don't know of an easy way to do this. I usually just tell the printer where it folds, but some times it would be really helpful to have them show. Almost all I do any more are menus which fold in various short and longer page layouts. I always put fold marks on art back in the pre computer days.
When I want fold marks to show on my PDF or regular PageMaker files I have to draw them on the art so that they extend beyond the edge of the page and then draw a paper colored box to block the part of the line that extends into the art. If they don’t extend into the art they don’t reproduce when printed.
This works but it seems that there should be a way to have PageMaker draw the fold marks at the desired location as it does crop and bleed marks. I have looked at the help info but can't find anything about this. This seems like such a basic thing that I can’t believe that I can’t find a easy way to do it.
