Hi,
when I export a PDF with cut marks from Indesign, the cut marks are defined as part of a path group (subpath). This is what the object browser shows. You can also see all the additional cut marks highlighted in yellow, although only one cut mark is selected.

What action can I use to select these subpaths and convert this selection to paths so that they are no longer defined as subpaths? Like the cutmarks in the 2nd screenshot.

Is there a technical term for this type of path group? I can handle it well in PitStop. But I ask because I have difficulties with it in other programs like PDFToolbox from Callas.

Thanks in advance,
yosimo

I believe "Split in subpaths" is what you are looking for.

Hi Loïc,

'Split in subpaths' alone works fine. I hadn't tried that because I thought I had to select them beforehand with the ‘select subpaths’ action.
Then ‘Split in subpaths’ does not work.

Thank you very much, that's done for me.

Kind regards
yosimo
