saving a PDF

[filippot]

I have a vector file that i am going to save in pdf. the problem is that while i tried it, the work was cropped to the size of artboard. but the size of my work is bigger than the artboard size. i am asking if anyone knows how to adapt the pdf converson to the crop marks. is it possible? thanks in advance.

but my problem is that i have assigned the crop area but saving to pdf still crops it to a artboard size.

Have you tried increasing your artboard size to larger than your artwork and then creating a crop box?

The artboard/crop thing is kinda weird. Some software doesen't even read the crop marks. Some just read the artboard. Some give you options as to which one to read. If you're opening that pdf in acrobat, it'll always read the crop box initially, unless the crop box is out of the artboard. or so I believe.

i use illustrator CS, my work that is want to print ou is beyond the artboard size. i think i could resize the artboard from the file document setup and i thought the converting to pdf would know my cropped area. it seems it doesn´t
