Thank you both for the follow-ups. I didn't realize I could drag my edges in Persona view to change the placement of the bleed marks. This is a huge upgrade for me which I'll use going forward. (Yes, I wound up exporting all 60 pages individually for this one.). Cheers!

Yeah... this is clearly the problem. I do 99.9% of my work in Affinity Photo. I don't even know what an artboard is. In fact, the only reason I even brought the Photo document over to Design is because Photo doesn't have a "Document Setup" button where I can set the bleed. In an ideal world, I'd be doing this from Photo. Which begs the question... If I have to build all these artboards individually in order to get Persona to set the Bleed/Crop Marks correctly, is it even POSSIBLE in Photo (which doesn't have artboards)? It just seems crazy that one can't set (and build) the bleed, then go to the Export Persona and export all the slices with the correct parameters. Am I to understand that Photo doesn't have the ability to export multiple layers at once with the correct bleed/crop parameters?

Okay... I downloaded your design file, and it works correctly -- but only when exporting all the layers as one. My graphic novel has 60 pages (rasterized layers). If I DON'T create slices and I export just the top level (not a slice) it prints the bleed and crop marks correctly on the first page -- just like yours. But when I create slices, and try to export them (individually or all at once) it pulls the crop marks out to the edge of the bleed as shown in my Persona file. For clarity, what I want/need to do is output each of the 60 layers/slices/pages with bleed and crop marks in the correct place. Clearly I'm either not understanding something, or there's a problem with the program. (Most likely the former, I realize.) Any ideas...? For reference I created slices from your file, then used the SAME export settings in Persona on the yellow (Bleed) layer. You'll see that it pulls the crop marks out to the edges. In my scenario, I need the crop marks 1/8" in on that yellow layer. Thanks for helping me with this, Old Bruce. Exact size of Bleed..pdf

Respectfully, if you look at those two images they are identical EXCEPT for the crop marks. On the Export file the crop marks are at the page/canvas edge. On the Persona file the crop marks are at the bleed edge. Why would the crop marks move between a File>Export export and a Persona Export? Yes. Additionally, it doesn't matter if I use the Default Export tab, the Selection tab, or export them one at a time from the slice layer... it NEVER puts the crop marks in the right place out of the Persona view. I'm so open to suggestions here...

Yes, I’ve checked the boxes for bleed and crop marks. If you look at the two images I included, you’ll see that the “Export” version looks correct, while the Persona version has the crop marks on the OUTSIDE edge of the bleed. The marks are there, they’re just in the wrong place. Every time. For years now. Unless I’m missing something obvious?

Hi all... I have a 60 page Graphic Novel I'm trying to get to the printer, and the only way I can get it exported with correct Bleed and Crop Marks is to export one page at a time via File>Export. When I use the Export PERSONA I can use the exact same settings (or even use my saved export Preset), but it always prints the crop marks at the EDGE of the bleed (as opposed to 1/8" inside -- where the document should be cut). Again, it works perfectly when exporting one page at a time. Am I missing something, or is this still an issue for everyone? I'm in OS X 10.15.7 working with Photo/Designer/Publisher 2. I had this problem with version 1 too, but had hoped it would be addressed. Files attached for reference. 1 - Front Cover Export.pdf 1 - Front Cover Persona.pdf
