How to export to pdf with the colour printing jobbie?

Postby indiebio » Mon May 04, 2015 9:37 pm

Hi

I'm a real noob, doing some design on the side coz I can't afford designers yet, so please feel free to just point me to a link or the correct phrase to use ...

I am trying to export a design (business card) with the lines on the edges (bleed lines???) and the little colour blocks that allow the printers to make sure the colour you get is the colour you were thinking of. I don't know what they're called, and I don't know how to get them onto my design when I export it to pdf. Any help please?

You can use the printing marks rendering extension.
