Removing printer marks from a PDF file [closed]

Question

I need to remove the printer marks from a PDF file. I am using Acrobat 9 Professional to open the PDF, but there is no option for removing the printer marks although there is option to add new printer marks.

I googled and found that there is a third-party plugin "Enfocus PitStop" which when installed is added to Adobe Acrobat and provides an option to remove the print marks, but that software is quite costly.

Is there any way I can remove the printer marks programmatically or through the Adobe Acrobat 9.0 interface?

Answer 1

In Acrobat Professional, go to Document > Crop Pages and select "Trim Box" from the dropdown menu. If the document doesn't have this dimension built in, you can also manually enter it.

You can also edit PDFs in Adobe Illustrator, if available.

Answer 2

I had red registration lines that were NOT crop lines and finally found out how to remove then as follows (I'm using Acrobat Professional 7):

View >> Navigation Tabs >> Content

A window opens with 4 tabs (Fields/Tags/Content/Order) Stay on Content Tab Click on File Name (Pages Open) Click on Page in Question (Details open)

Click on items called "Path" and delete one at time - If the wrong line dissappears press Ctrl-Z to get it back

Through trial and error I was able to eliminate the lines.

Answer 3

Using the View > Navigation Panels > Content box worked well for me. I was able to delete the cut lines without an issue.
