How can I make crop marks easily without having to draw them by hand? I know there must be an easier way.
Most of my output goes to a printer with letter/legal/11X17 paper sizes and I convert them to .pdf then email the file(s) to the print shop. So that leaves out using the 'finished' paper size and letting Corel insert the crop marks using the Imposition Tool that I used to use when sending a .prn file to a dedicated printer with dedicated hardware/software that would print a .prn file.

Thank you so much for your time.
There sure is an easier way-

Go here, this guy has written a VBA macro to do just that!

Check out the "Crop Marks" macro and also the "Object Tiler" macro for relief from cropmark and imposition pain. Both of these are a great boon to those that do not have Acrobat Distiller and rely on Corels export to PDF function.
