Re: How can I print the used grid or guidelines in a document?
Most print shops that I have worked in have had different bleed sizes most around 2 mm but I worked in one which used 4 mm. When you turn on "Overprint Line" from the Utilities -> Imagesetting menu you will see that the Bleed margin has extended by 3 mm (default) so therefore you should extend your drawing to cover that area. Then when you do what Gary stated and select from the Print menu then select Options and select "Output to Printer's Mark" you will find that all the print info will be printed when you output to PDF. The PDF export filter outputs its page with a 2mm bleed area which will result in a format of 30.1 x 21.4cm which is for A4 page size. In most of my work which was sent to printers I used manual trim marks which was set up for the larger SAR 3 which is 450 mm x 320 mm and meant that I got 2 x A4 sheets per page and these trim marks were save as a template.
Using the info you can get from your printer about what Page size that they use will save you money as there would be no setting out charge and you can also be certain that the imposition of pages can be done properly as well. Only time that I wanted a grid printed on paper was planing layouts for magazines to show clients and this could be done using lines broken or not broken. Would use the blend tool for this. If you need any more info please come back.
