Lay out a PDF for printing: multiple pages per sheet, margins and binding margin, crop marks and cut lines.
Crop marks and cut lines are printing guides — they don't change the original content of each page, only its layout on the output sheet. To cut and bind as a booklet (double-sided with imposed page order), use "Create booklet".
Choose the document that will be sent for professional printing.
Set the bleed, add crop marks, and check the color space and final page size against the print shop's requirements.
The resulting PDF comes ready with the technical marks and margins a professional printer expects to receive.
It's an extra margin of content that extends beyond the final page size, so no white slivers appear at the edges after physical trimming — a common requirement at professional print shops.
They're small lines at the corners of the page that show the cutting machine exactly where to trim the paper to reach the intended final size.
It helps cover the most common technical requirements (bleed, crop marks, size), but every print shop may have its own specifications — always check the print shop's exact requirements before sending.
