Please help – Action list for brochure printing
Posted: Fri Sep 16, 2022 5:16 pm
Hi!
I have a problem. I often have the case that for brochures I get the content as PDF with continuous single pages in A4 format and the cover PDF separately as imposed file in DIN A3 landscape format.
This cover file then also contains crop marks, etc.
However, in order to be able to process the data, I have to integrate the cover file into the content file as 4 single pages!
Can anyone provide me with a ready-made action list for this?
I think it could work like this:
# Reset cover file to trimbox
# Split cover into two halves
# Merge with the content file
# Add back the bleed (3mm) that was removed earlier
I often have files where no trim box is defined at all. What do I do there, how can I set a trim box on a certain format?
Thank you for your patience - and a thousand thanks for your help!!!
Many greetings
Sebastian
