Ok, than I would insist on calling it a bug for now

It works! But how did you manage to find it, and is it a workaround, or a rule to follow?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is inteded, but I have just experienced strange behoviur of Inpain option in Edit menu, while using Pen Tool for creating selection. I wanted to have selected area with straight lines on sides, so I decided to use Pen Tool, instead of other marquing tools : But to my surprise, when using Pen Tool, and converting shape to selection with button: Than from the Edit menu, Inpaint - option is greyed out, and isn't accessible to execute : Below is video showing this bug. Tell me it's by design, or am I missing something here Thanks!

this might help me the most. I will try it and report back YES. This is the solution. Thanks mate!

Just to be clear, I am in fact exporting through File->Export->PDF, where all files are saved in one PDF file, but bleed is not present. Also Im not sure with what bleed are you familair with, but in my case bleed is created by expanding all colors to bleed area, not just adding blank space

i did that, but this made red bleed areas around artboards, but artboards are stil 3x7cm. so how to I get those 2mm in? i would have to resize 200 artboards ?

i dont know if I understood you fully, but your friend could be "paste without format" option in edit menu. It should paste text, and leave styles.

Hello, Basically I made around 200 labels for products in Designer, and silly me I could swear I started with file with 2mm bleed all around. Now after I spent 2 days of creating I send my files to printshop, and they got back to me saying all is fun, but add bleed atleast 1.5mm around. Im like lol 0o! Checking file and yup, they're right, no bleed present. I can't really share my file due to this brand owner won't let me publish it. I can only show you this two I deleted sensitive data from it. Is there some fast way of adding it? I thought about creating macro for Photo, but files have to stay in PDF due to reasons they want it. My file consists of around 200 artboards sadly, which I'm not sure will be helpfull right now. Half of those are circular shape, top stickers (which also have to get 2mm bleed) around. Is this possible to have circular bleed? But most importantly I need to get it : fast, easy, and not a lot of time, since I'm already rendering those labels onto products and this is time and resource consuming I hope someone might have this issue in the past and may share some solution for me. Thanks in advance ! edit: I could select just white areas and black background, but reasons unknown - there isn't still "repeat last operation" option inside (I think) any of the software, so I would have to do it 200 times...

yes I know that, and thats how I go by, but it's just curious, why publisher is able to have 3 personas, and other two don't. This bugs me Once I got full suite, why not add those other 2 personas to all 3 softwares. The button would not only close file in one program and open in another, but would just combine them into one. I know that with publisher we would like to work with pixel/vector/pages and thus it makes sense to have those 3 inside one app, but our usages differ from person to person, and I find myself constantly fighting in my head which software should I use for specific task, and usualy during work I keep asking myself same question - why did I choose designer and not publisher For me Publsiher would be perfect if I could temporaly switch off pages completly or get proper artboards functionality built-in.

I hear ya'll. Just found it again. Happily I have a Publisher at hand, but one thing I dont understand, and it doesnt belong here - is why I can switch from Publisher to Designer persona, but not vice versa? I have to reopen file in Publisher just to change 50 words in 2clicks. Since I already have paid for full v1 and v2 suite, why the heck can't I access those basic functions. Since I work on prepairing product labels, I have to use different artboards. I was considering using Publisher, but working on pages where I have 3 different labels to each product I was even considering it, but decided against. Now I'm beining punished by myself

The issue was described in v1 app: Now in v2 I have same issue again, where even when my rullers are set to mm, while I'm dragging new slices, I see only px sizes. Which for me doing with print sizes is worthless since I can't calculate in my head px to mm in any given dpi resolution this would be great to being able to set app-wise measurment to cm and forget it once and forever. Here's also a video which shows inconsistency of sometimes showing the size while dragging a shape tool, while not showing while dragging marquee tool or slice tool. The code is there just make an option to select it's visibility and measurement type for everyone around the world. IMG_1552.MOV

delete, moved to v2 forum.

yes I know that because I sometimes send files to other companies and they are angry because of no bleed. however I know for a fact that this shouldn't be a problem as even printing software ie. RIP software has a bleed option builtin, and it can be added via shortcut or click of a button like here: Where it can be decided if it should mirror edge to bleed, add color or extend edge. This is to make life easier, both clients and printer operators. Truth be told - many of them are too lazy to know option exists, as it's easier to make clients prepair perfect files, and just ignore clients that don't provide properly (as per each print shop requirements)...

I just wanted to add something to @Blake_S : I work in print house. We add bleed ourselves. I want my PDF to be exactly as I want them to be. That's why I created preset. There is no definition of PDF for printing standard, as various printers and operators have different workflows. Some machines need different color contours to be cut, others you can set your own color etc. In your case you need some settings, but don't say it's some kind of standard as it's not. I'm a living proof of it We work with flags. They are sewed at the sides, but different application, flag types or designation need different bleed for the sewing. I know each type from my head, but clients don't. For me, it doesn't matter if he adds 0.5cm or 1cm if I need 2.5cm I always have to open and adjust. Sometimes flags are hot-cut, and than 10x20cm is printed 10x20 without bleed. Sentence : " Files with no bleed are not suitable for print. " is just wrong and not true whatsoever.

I would try to reset windows. I had similar problem in the past with gimp and couldn't resolve it. But after windows reset (which is a pain) it worked. In Run window input PowerShell Type: systemreset -factoryreset Press enter
