Are you tired of guessing and measuring when it comes to printing templates and digital prints at their intended size? With this simple hack, you can ensure that your home-printed digital prints come out perfectly every time.
The key to this hack is adding trim marks to your page. These marks will guide you in cutting your print to the correct size, eliminating the need for guesswork.
However, it’s important to note that for this method to work, your digital file must be set up to the correct dimensions. For example, if you want to print a 5.83″ x 8.27″ insert, the PDF file must be set up as 5.83″ x 8.27″ for the correct trim marks to appear. On the other hand, if you want to print A4 or US Letter sized files, they don’t require trim marks.
Why You Need Adobe Acrobat for Printing with Trim Marks
When printing planner inserts, it’s important to have trim marks to guide your cuts for perfectly sized pages. Unfortunately, trim marks are not available in free PDF readers like Adobe Acrobat Reader. To access advanced printing features, such as trim marks, you will need Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Adobe Acrobat Pro allows you to:
- Add trim/crop marks to your PDF files.
- Customize your printing options to ensure precise cuts for planner sizes like A5, Personal, and more.
While free alternatives provide basic functionality, they don’t include these advanced printing settings. If you’re frequently printing planner inserts, investing in Adobe Acrobat Pro can make a significant difference in the quality and accuracy of your prints.
