Introduction

In this episode, we'll learn how to save our design as a PDF/X-1A with crop marks and bleed. Then, we'll collect all the files using Package so that the printer won't reject our file. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Printers usually request PDFs with specific standards, crop marks, and bleed. Illustrator provides preset PDF/X and Package features to ensure everything is complete.

In the Save Adobe PDF window, select preset PDF/X-1A 2001, the standard accepted by almost all printers.

Step 3: Marks and 2.

Open the marks and blades section. Check the 3 marks for crop marks and use document bleed settings so that the 3mm bleed is also saved.
