    How can I get Inkscape to render crop/bleed marks on multiple pages? I follow these steps:

    1. Open Inkscape
    2. Select the Page Tool
    3. Click the "New Page" button
    4. Menu > Extensions -> Document -> Layout -> Printing Marks...
    5. Check boxes next to "Crop Marks" and "Bleed Marks"
    6. Click Apply.

    The crop/bleed marks then render for page 1, but not page 2. I am working on a post card, so need 2 pages, front and back. What's my best way forward?

    Thanks!

    I donΒ΄t see an option for multiple page support. IΒ΄d generate a second document for the back.

    Thanks, Polygon. I may have to do that.

    The extension generates a locked layer named printing marks, if i remember. I would just unlock and duplicate it and move it to next page.

    But this wonΒ΄t make it into a multiple page PDF and I doubt the print job will be send as SVG.

    The workaround is to resize the first page to the Printing Marks layer, redo for page 2 and its Printing Marks copy layer.

    Actually, it is quite as fast to have two svg files.

    Yup. Confirmed - it worked as David248 described.
