Hello, I have a vey minor issue. When I open up a customers PDF and use the Print Production tool Edit Object, I make small changes using illustrator. Then when I save it (not save as), it automatically adds unwanted crop marks (just the crop marks). It not a major issue as I could just save another file from illustrator as another PDF and works fine. It has just been lately this has behaved in this way. Just curious if I can stop the unwanted crop marks. Also, I am not 100% sure if it is Acrobat Pro adding them, or Illustrator.

Thanks,

    Are you sure that they arn't in the file when you get it, but just hidden under some objects?

    No. I double check that just now to make sure. The page size is letter (8.5x11) and after edit, the page size is increase to accommodate the crop marks. But I just recently realised yesterday that so far the only pdf's that does this are a exported out of  programs, like Word, Publisher, and Excel. I made a test export out of indesign with text to a pdf and when I edit that in illustrator it does not do that. Maybe it is Microsoft pdf version generator adding weird unwanted info. Not sure.

    Thanks you for the response
