Print to PDF does put the marks on the pages. But from what I understand
that is not the right way to get the best cmyk output for print.

OK. What if you print to PDF instead, and then follow those steps?

It is preferable, I think, to have FM create the marks so that they are
accurately placed as the time of creation.

At least you are headed in a better direction :)
