Hi Community.

I searched a lot to find a solution but still didn't found anything right.

I am looking for an option to (automatically) add little fold marks for folding A1 or A2 plans / plots. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and the pdf files are delivered by customers. It should be little lines at the lower right and the upper right position of the document - customizable position to fold the plans to A4 and A4 minus 20 mm.

Is there any workaround or script to automatically add such fold marks to multiple pdfs?

thanks in advance and kind regards,

Matthias

I took a shot at it... This should add lines that mark the size of an A4 page within an A1 page:

var a1Width = 1684;
var a1Height = 2384;
this.addAnnot({page: 0, type: "Line", points: [[a1Width/Math.sqrt(8), 0], [a1Width/Math.sqrt(8), a1Height]], style: "D", dash: [6,4]});
this.addAnnot({page: 0, type: "Line", points: [[0, a1Height/Math.sqrt(8)], [a1Width, a1Height/Math.sqrt(8)]], style: "D", dash: [6,4]});
