Hello everyone,

i have a problem when i print cropmarked PDF it came out with most of  Registration marks but not the cropmarks (the lines), it appears when i print through "Publish" or "Save as PDF", but the thing is these methods makes my file corrpted (fonts and colors,....), so the only way i have is through "Print" and choose "Western" and fix the page size so the cropmaks would appears like the image below:

 

is there any solution for this issue?

Hi,

 

In addition, what happens, when you activate the option "Use Acrobat Distiller for PDF creation" in the Publish settings?

 

Best regards

Hello Winfried

 

when i active this option an error came up, the PDF won't come out, when i don't active it the PDF do come out but with some issues as i mentioned (some bullets are missing and the italic return to regular) so unfortunately, the "Publish" method is not an option for me.

Hello Mohamed,

which FrameMaker version are you using? They work well for me with FM2015, but I've noticed major problems with print/crop marks since FM2019, mainly with CMYK output. They still work as usual with RGB output (Distiller), although "RGB" and "Print Marks" are contradictory terms.
