Crop marks are used as guides when a printed publication is trimmed to its intended size.

These printer's marks print outside the publication and can only be printed if the size of the sheet being printed to is larger than the publication page size.

Example

The following example sets crop marks and job information to print with the publication. If the publication is printed as separations, the additional types of printer's marks are also set to print. This example assumes that the size of the paper being printed to is larger than the publication page size.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub SetPrintersMarksToPrint()
	With ActiveDocument.AdvancedPrintOptions
		.PrintCropMarks = True
		.PrintJobInformation = True
			If PrintMode = pbPrintModeSeparations Then
				.PrintRegistrationMarks = True
				.PrintDensityBars = True
				.PrintColorBars = True
			End If
		End With
End Sub
