Page Info Under Crop Marks

Question

Can anyone explain to me why my page information is exporting below the crop marks and not inbetween them?
EXAMPLE ( )

Here are my export settings:

I'm probably missing something silly, so please go easy on me.

Thanks!

If your document is less than about 4.6" in width (about 336 pt), ID will move the page information down. It seems it allows about 80 or so characters for the file name, whether it's a short name or not.

From a prepress standpoint, it doesn't matter to us, as our imposition software imposes according to the crop or bleed box in the PDF anyway, so the fact that the page information makes the file visibly not "centered" is irrelevent.

Hi @abcpress@bellsouth.net,

Thank you for sharing your export settings and the screenshots! It looks like the page information is appearing outside the crop marks, which can be corrected by adjusting the Offset setting for your marks in the Export Adobe PDF dialog.

Please try:

1. Go to the 'Marks and Bleeds' section in your export settings.
2. In the 'Marks' section, locate the 'Offset' value for the crop marks.
3. Try adjusting the 'Offset' to a smaller value, like '0.0833 in', or even lower, depending on your needs. This will move the page information between the crop marks.

Make sure that your Page Information setting is enabled under File > Document Setup > Bleed and Slug if you're working with any bleed areas.

Also, ensure that you're using the correct Positioning settings for Crop Marks under Advanced if applicable.

Give this a try and let me know if it works! Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.

Best,
Abhishek Rao
