Hi, i'm having a issue when exporting my project to pdf so i can send it to printing, and the print marks are not being generated on the pdf file. I wonder what could've caused it. Thanks in advance

If I did not misunderstand things, the extension > Document > Layout > Printing marks creates a new layer with printing marks around your page : if you export your page after that without resizing it, they won't be visible (because they are out of the page).

I would then resize the page before exporting. I don't know the exact size professional printers require.

To resize, I would simply draw a rectangle to the exact size wanted, align vertically and horizontally to the page and the resize page to object (ctrl + shift + R), and remove temporary rectangle.

it didn't work :(, but maybe i did something wrong... Idk, but here's the svg file, maybe someone could take a look into it? 

I resized pages to include printing marks.

I don't know the english words, but you drawing must go slighter beyond cutting marks : so that, is cut doesn't exactly match the printed areas, a white line isn't visible.

Don't mind, but you should not overuse clips : use instead boleans operations, for example on the not-gradient-filled logo : this logo could be one unique path, instead of three with clips.

Ok, got it! and thank you so much!

Could you send again the svg file in attachment mode so i can check the steps you've done? 

I did it.

Now i completely understood what you said back there, i was able to solve my problem. Thank you!

If I remember :

1. I clicked on page tool, enabled Move objects with page (right icon on control bar), hovered page 2 to display the move icon and clicked and drag to move page 2 with its content to the right.
2. Then I selected rect238 (open object panel - ctrl+ shift + L - to find it) and resized it, holding ctrl + shift to let it aligned horizontally and vertically to page 1. Then I copied it (to save its dimensions to clipboard).
3. I selected rect258 and did edit > paste...> size to get the same dimensions as rect238. I opened align and distribute panel and choosed "Relative to page" and clicked on Center on vertical axis then Center on horizontal axis.
4. On object panel, I clicked on Printings marks layer, duplicated it (ctrl+d), unlocked it (small locker icon), and on canvas, holding ctrl, moved it over page2 and repeated alignment to page as in step 3
5. Then I clicked on rect258 and pressed ctrl+shift+R (or Document properties and then click on Resize to content). I repeated for rect238

Don't mind, but you should not overuse clips : use instead boleans operations, for example on the not-gradient-filled logo : this logo could be one unique path, instead of three with clips.

Here is an explanation :

• this logo is formed with three paths (you'd better have grouped them, btw) :
  • path175 is the arc. You used a clip to hide some portions of this path (I guess you did not got it with boolean operations). The reason boolean ops failed is that you should have turned its stroke to path before doing boolean ops).
  • path176 is the main part of the leaf : your clip shows all parts of this path : it is not useful.
  • you could do a difference between leaf rib (path177) and path176 and then do union or combine with path 175

Make sure to go to File->Export->Document and not only "Page":

Printing marks appear in PDF file.

A definitely simpler solution, thanks polygon.
