Indesign Crop Marks always 12 mm

Hello everyone...!

I'm trying to export PDF file with crop marks 1mm, but it shows 12mm in exported file.

I cant' affect an output by changing setting in export menu. Can anyone help and explain

why this happens and how can I change it...?

Thanks...!

Oh, that is a rare question!

Also, there is a script called: "CropMarks.jsx" that can be customized.

Can you be a bit more specific? I'm not sure what you're talking about.

BTW, a lot of printers don't even want them. The crop / bleed info is included in the exported PDF and they prefer to create their own.

As you can see, I'm trying to set a 1mm Crop Mark, but in exported PDF file, it is 12 mm...

I have to deliver PDF with dimensions on Image 1.

But when I'm exporting file, it adds some parameters, which I can't reduce

to the prefered size. See Image 2

Hi @defaultbp54urts306h , The Offset is the distance the Crop marks are offset from the page trim:
