Add Crop Marks to a Template

   Question:  
I would like to add crop marks to my template as a background image.  Is this possible in the Designer?

Answer:  

Yes this is certainly doable.  Users can add such background images by using SVG code.  This would simply require adding the appropriate code in Text View.  

The SVG would need to be contained within fo:instream-foreign-object as such.  Please see the following sample code to assist:

<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
			<fo:block-container position="absolute" top="0.5cm" left="0.5cm" width="3cm" height="3cm" z-index="1" overflow="visible">
				<fo:block font-size="0pt">
					<fo:instream-foreign-object>
						<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="100" height="100">
							<g transform="translate(18,18)">
								<line x1="-20" x2="20" y1="0" y2="0" style="stroke:black;stroke-width:2"/>
								<line x1="0" x2="0" y1="-20" y2="20" style="stroke:black;stroke-width:2"/>
							</g>
						</svg>
					</fo:instream-foreign-object>
