Exporting tif with crop marks

[behzad]

Hi, Is it possible to export a tif with crop marks? like a pdf that when exported has crop marks?

No why would it, it is a bitmap! That's no a print doc. Don't be lazy, just place your crop marks manually and then what? Well tiff's are usually used with bleed and that is another thing to do. Well ain't life a bug--- you have a few lines to draw and a rectangle and I am not trying to be rude. You can place crop marks in Illy with a click of a mouse. Do I use the feature? no thank you it wastes too much of the page. If you set up your page to what your print shop is using then you could get an extra row of what your are printing at the bottom if it was things like "biz cards" so why use it.

Do you mean automatically? If so, no.

But you can manually add them.

Use the .25pt setting which is more of a hairline than .5pt

You can also export a PDF with crop marks.

Make your page size the size your crop size. So if you are making a 3.5 x 2 business card, make your page size 3.5 x 2.

In File > Print Options > Imagesetting check Output Printers Marks

Check which marks you want to print.

Export as a PDF/X file.
