Easiest way to add a border?

[prepress cindy]

I've tried just drawing one with Create New Rectangle but its not very user friendly and hard to see when the file is already to size. Could I create an action without giving a specific page size? We deal with too many sizes for that to work.
thanks!

i guess you've already tried doing all of this in indesign; make a new document, throw your artwork on it and then make your border then save.

Cindy I didn't get a reply so for continuity here's an action attached that adds a border to the trimbox, you can modify it to meet your exact requirements.

Would you have an Acrobat version 8 action for this?
