crop printer marks for good

[michaels85629048]

I am trying to crop the printer marks off for use after the document has been printed. It seems the crop process leaves the printers marks there but not visible. I found an older version which enables you to remove them within acrobat tools "Set media box to crop and remove objects outside crop box"

Can anyone help?

I am using an iMAC running Catalina and the latest Acrobat PRO.

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

So "cropping" a PDF page does not remove anything.

You must use the Preflight tool (under Print Production pane):
