Create crop marks which will be visible on all color separations, using the special color "All". Create a CMYK document by loading a CMYK image and create the special color "All" with make_spotcolor(). Draw some crop marks with standard vector graphics and output some info text outside of the actual page area (i.e. outside of the CropBox).
Test in Acrobat 7 or 8: Show the MediaBox with Document, Crop Pages, Set to Zero. Choose Advanced, (Print Production), Output Preview: All elements with color "All" will be visible in all combinations of separation previews.
