The normal workflow
- 1Open your file. Drop a PDF (or PNG/JPEG) in — Color Bar reads the page size and count and suggests a starting setup.
- 2Check the auto layout. The sheet, count and marks are picked for you. The live preview shows exactly what will print.
- 3Adjust what matters. Change only the settings that need it — everything else stays on its suggested value.
- 4Export the result. Download a print-ready PDF, or send it straight to print — processed locally, nothing uploaded.
What you can normally adjust
- Position
- Patch size
- Edge clearance
Related tools
- Add Bleed — Extend artwork past the trim so cuts never show white. The finished size does not change.
- Crop Marks — Trim and registration marks placed from the page boxes. The sheet grows just enough to hold them.
- Merge — Combine PDFs into one — reorder, pick pages, interleave or insert blanks.
- Split — One file into many: every page, every N pages, or spreads cut into single pages.
- Rotate — Turn all, odd or even pages by a quarter, half or three-quarter turn.
- Resize — Every page to a standard size, or scaled by a percentage — proportions kept unless you say otherwise.
