Problem with creating crop marks & bleed

[#1]

Hi,

I'm trying to export PDF file with crop marks & bleed using below javascript, but, the exported PDF file doesn't have crop marks & bleed at all. Could you please let me know what I've missed in the scripts? thanks heaps.

var currentPDFFile;

var myPDFExportPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("[Press Quality]");

with(app.pdfExportPreferences) {

    pageRange = "1";

    cropMarks = true;

    useDocumentBleedWithPDF = true;

    }

app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, currentPDFFile, false, myPDFExportPreset);

"Press Quality" doesn't have those things set, and the preset settings are wiping out whatever you set in the code. 

You could either save a preset with the Press Quality settings plus those settings and call that in line 2, or you can add this after the second line: 

app.pdfExportPreferences.properties = myPDFExportPreset.properties;

 Then remove the preset from your export method call: 

app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, currentPDFFile, false);

I assume you are defining currentPDFFile at some point. You also want to turn bleedMarks on in your with statement: 

bleedMarks = true;
