Crop marks are HUGE when saving as a pdf for print...

[all signsa7491534]

Hello all,

I work in signage and we use Illustrator everyday for large format printing.

My problem is that now and then, when saving the documents as a pdf, the crop marks and bleeds are HUGE. This doesn't happen everytime and is becoming very frustrating.

Can anyone help with this please?

I encountered the same issue and concluded it was a bug in the Adobe Illustrator file. Each time, at PDF export, I switched between the document and custom bleed, I observed a tenfold increase (with document bleed settings). Regardless of the circumstances, this issue persisted in the corrupted file. Thus, I created a new file, transferred the graphics into it, and exported once more. This solution proved successful. The new file functioned correctly.

Have you read the comments in this thread about the issues with large canvas documents?

As in your duplicate post:

You pasted it from a Large Canvas document into a Regular Canvas document.

It is a problem with Large Canvas documents, you can vote here:
