Step 4Your Image - Part 3
Open the file in Acrobat, and open your PDF. Select Page Setup (File>Page Setup) and choose a paper size thats larger than your image.
Then select print (File>Print) and select the Advanced button. Then click Marks and Bleeds on the left, then check the box next to Trim Marks.
Lastly, make sure you have Adobe PDF selected as your printer, because we don't want to actually print it yet. Then print and save your new PDF.
Now you can print this PDF yourself or take it to a print shop. I took mine to Kinko's and had them printed on 11" x 17" cover stock. (I think that's what it was called, basically just a thicker paper)
You can print your images on anything you want, just make sure they print it at 100% scale, centered. It doesn't mater if they need to crop the white area around your image, but ask them to print out the first image to make sure everything is the way you want it.
Once you have them printed, either get them to crop them, or do it yourself, then you're finally ready to make something.
