    Reducing the canvas size within the same file didn't solve the issue.
    As a workaround, I managed to get by by creating a new document (in a standard size like A4) and copying and pasting the artwork I had been working on in the large document format.
    However, it's a hassle because the layers get merged, and there's a risk of making mistakes.
    Maybe it's better to give up on creating it at full size, work at 1/10 scale instead, and just instruct the printer to upscale it by 1000%?

    [Problem]
    When creating crop marks (Object > Create Trim Marks) or exporting a PDF with printer's marks in a Large Canvas document, the crop marks become abnormally huge.
    Even for a small A4-sized object or artwork inside the large canvas, the crop mark scaling matches the entire large canvas scale, making it unusable for printing.

    [Expected Result]
    Crop marks should maintain their standard standard size (line width and length) regardless of whether the document is a Large Canvas or not, as long as the target artwork is normal size.

    [Steps to Reproduce]
    1. Create a new document with a Large Canvas size (e.g., over 5 meters).

    2.Draw a small rectangle (e.g., A4 size).

    3.Select the rectangle and go to Object > Create Trim Marks.

    4.The generated trim marks are displayed in a massive scale.

    Please fix this scaling issue so that trim marks always generate at their original print-standard dimensions.
