Hi,
I created a 1-up business card in Indesign which will be printed on offset printers with pantone colors. The printer wants the file to be 2 up with registration marks, crop marks and 1/8 inch bleed.

I exported the 1 up card as a pdf from Indesign and set those printers marks during the export. Then I went back to Indesign, created a new document and placed that inital pdf two times into the new document. Can I export the 2-up document again as pdf,or will the quality suffer at the time of print?
Thanks so much for your help
Sharon
 
As long as you do not degrade the bitmap image quality (if any are used) with your export settings, you should be fine. You could embed a PDF in a PDF in a PDF in a PDF....
