Removing printer marks from a PDF file

Question

Hi,

I need to remove the printer marks from the PDF file. I am using Acrobat 9 Professional to open the PDF. But there is no option of 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 provide an option to remove the print marks. But that software is quite costly.

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

Thanks, Praveen

Answer 1

If you mean registration watermarks, either you have to crack the software (which I am not telling you to do) or you have to buy it. Usually, free pdf writers/editors include a watermark unless you buy the product. If however you wanted a free pdf printer, try CutePDF. I at least think this is what you are asking about.

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.
