Subject: Crop marks and Lightning Source
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 19:09:58 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200309101909.58300.john@wexfordpress.com> (raw)
A popular POD printer in the USA called LIghtning Source wants the
finished page to be centered on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper in the pdf
file submitted to them. This can be done with \definepapersze and
\setuppapersize. However this technique shows cropmarks and
Lighting Source specifies "no crop marks."
Question 1: How do I eliminate cropmarks yet still have the smaller page
centered on the larger page?
Second, my customer pointed out to me that on my finished pdf the
cropmarks do not exactly delineate the specific size (in this case 5.5 x
8.5 inches.) On my laser printer they define a space about 1/32 inch
shorter than the nominal dimension in both vertical and horizontal
directions. This is about 2 or 3 points.
Question 2. Why are the cropmarks apparently imprecise?
All hints appreciated, as always.
