Ah, thanks! This is actually what happened, I opened an Affinity Designer -document my friend made so it was confusing since you could change the page size and all the "Include bleed"-options were there, but you couldn't change it in any way. I had never used the bleed feature of Affinity Photo before so I didn't know it was limited to stuff set in Designer. It's not entirely true though that there's _no bleed_ in Affinity Photo, since there actually seems to be everything else EXCEPT the settings to change the amount of bleed. All the checkboxes to use these settings are there during the export. And also for an image editing software I think it's completely ok to assume that the photos edited in it would go to print some day since all the color profiling is there as well. So I don't see why there wouldn't be bleed in a photo editing software (as there _almost_ seems to be, but not fully). The meaning of bleed feature (to me) is to make it automatic to export the 3mm on the sides instead of having to every time add my own crop markers.

I can't seem to find a place where to set the bleed amount in Affinity Photo. I have tried setting up margins to 3mm and then check "Include bleed" in the PDF export options, but still, Affinity Photo crops the document at the crop markers where it should also include the 3mm bleed that I have. Instead, this 3mm margin becomes added inside the markers and not outside. Is this a missing feature or why are there bleed settings it's not yet possible to set them up? From the forums I understand that there should be a bleed setting in the document-menu, but is this only for Designer?

For me, personally, the issue is that when a client delivers me some material in PDF-form for further editing, currently I can't use this material in Affinity Photo because of the fonts won't be preserved. If it's an issue of licensing, for me it would be totally fine to render the fonts in a really high resolution (Adobe asks for this resolution when importing and then renders the fonts as bitmap, at least if I don't have those fonts).

+1 from me. It would be really nice to have the feature to import the PDF with the embedded fonts. I work with a project that involves notation in PDF-files and these are always embedded custom fonts. Currently all I get is cryptic symbols (missing fonts) when I import these files for conversion.
