This is an aside, but perhaps will save someone some work (and closely
relates to the topic being discussed).
I have a client who in final pages ask us to reduce the page size by 10%
to increase white space. Easy to scale to 90%, but that also reduces
your trim marks. To print at 90% and have trim marks for the full page
you need to do the following:
(1) print with trim marks off
(2) in Acrobat (7) go to tools/print production/crop pages and crop
page to final trim size
(3) use tools/print production/add printer marks to add printer marks.
Click through the warning dialog. You won't be able to see them yet, but
they are there.
(4) use tools/print production/crop pages to remove the original crop
marks and extend the page size. Now the (larger) page size shows the
reduced text and the proper trim marks for the trim size at 100%.

I think it's a feature, instead of a bug. You need to have the full
Acrobat product to make it work properly, though. The full page is
being printed, but Acrobat hides the cropped area unless you want it
shown.
After you distill, open the document in Acrobat. Change the crop
settings. In Acrobat 6.0, it's Document>Pages>Crop. I think they've
moved it for Acrobat 7, but the option should still be available.

I found this out the other day. I feel it is a Distiller Bug. Maybe
Adobe feels it is a feature? ;-)
Seriously, why shouldn't we be allowed to distill a document with both
crop marks AND bookmarks if we really want to?
