I have some PM files that I need to print at 71% original size with printer's marks. Does anyone know if there is a way to include the printer's marks when printing from a pdf using Adobe Reader 5.0?

Thanks,

Daniel
 
Hi, angler2229,

The printer's marks and scaling values are set from the PM print menu.

Then print to File using the PS driver and convert the output to a PDF using Distiller.

John,

I am using a Taylor PPD supplied by Taylor Publishing in Dallas, TX. I was able to set the printer's marks and scaling in the print menu. The Print button changed to a Save button. Then I distilled the file using File> Export> Adobe pdf. However the printer's marks are not present in the distilled file.

I know I must be leaving some important steps out.

That's OK. Click save and you will be asked for a location where the file should be saved.

Then load up Distiller, open the saved the PostScript output and convert it to PDF.

John,

That worked great! My error was that I did not realize I had to launch Adobe Distiller. I thought everything would work from PM.

Thanks so much for your help!
