Hi, I have a PDF of a book (200 pages) that I need to add cut marks, color bars to for offset printing.

Can't figure out how to open the PDF in Acrobat and add the Marks Bleeds.

The PDF was saved in Word.

Please advise...

The crop, bleed, and trim boxes are all the same size. The crop box is defined in the Crop Box dialog box (choose Tools > Print Production > Set Page Boxes). If the artwork contains a bleed, make sure that the crop box is big enough to accommodate the bleed box and other printer marks.

Once it is done, please follow the steps to embed the printer marks in PDF

Choose Tools > Print Production > Add Printer Marks.

Specify the pages to mark.

Specify the marks and settings.

Thanks

That doesn't answer my question. Open Acrobat and then go to Help - About. What does it say there? What exact version do you have?
