Hi Mike, The image edge is 3mm from the edge of the card on the proper versions. I have now increased the 3D effect to 100px radius and 41% opacity and it is finally giving bleed and keeping the 3D look. They are 88 x 125mm final size. natural art test.pdf

Thanks Mike.

I have extended the green background by 3mm all round and it is now showing the bleed. Thank you. Just loses the 3D effect now so I will have to work on that with discussion with the printers. Many thanks

Thank you. I find that odd though as the first draft version at the top of my topic shows the bleed on the pdf and the background is the same size as the artboard. The only change was adding the 3D effect. I will give this a try thanks.

Hi, I am attaching the AD file - reduced to one card to make it a smaller file. Again, the bleeds were set to 3mm and I did a print pdf selecting include bleeds but still no bleeds! I must be missing something. I am new to AD so anything is possible!! K natural_art_test.afdesign natural art test.pdf

I tried deleting the effect (which was 3D not bevel (I must have alter that!) and it still doesn't show the bleed. I am so confused as it worked originally and then didn't so it must be something in the settings. Any other thoughts? The rounded edges of the rectangle shape are part of the 3D or bevel effects so these can't be removed as far as I can see. These are all being cut into cards with rounded corners. I am concerned that the printer may not cut these perfectly but they are confident they will. Fingers crossed. test.pdf

Hi I know this has been a topic many times but I am having problems with my bleed not showing and I am going to print on Friday! I have selected 3mm bleed in document setup, and in export ticked the boxes for include bleed and include printer marks. The first version I did is showing the bleed but now I am on the final version they are not showing up. I have sent it to the printer and it is also not showing for them so it is not my pdf reader issues. The only main change I have done is given the document background - a coloured rectangle a 3D effect rather than just flat. Would this be the issue? Please help.
