What it does

Sets page boxes based on the currently defined trim box and removes printer marks and other objects as required. You can as well add new printer marks, based on the new page boxes.

How to proceed

  1. Set the page boxes based on the current trim box:
    • Define the distance between the different page boxes, by setting the X and Y-coordinates.
    • Set the crop box either to the trim or media box.
  2. Indicate which marks should be removed, for example:
    • Color bars (depnding on the size of the patches)
    • Registration marks
    • Trim and bleed marks
  3. Optionally, select the appropriate checkboxes to add new registration, trim or bleed marks, based on the new position of the new page boxes and choose the preferred style (QuarkXPress or InDesign).
  4. Indicate which objects should be removed:
    • Text outside trim box
    • Non-text objects with size smaller than <values> outside bleed box but shrunk by a distance of <values> (i.e. small objects outside but near the bleed box)
