Drawy-mcphee Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi I'm a newbie and I'm really sruck please help. What should be so simple is driving me nuts! I simply want 3mm bleed on an a4 page for brochure print. I set up file as 300 x 213mm so to include bleed. When i set bleed i put 3mm on each side but i can't see it even when i set it to visible. Then when i click on bleed again its set back at 0. I've tried adding margins but when i export crop marks are still not cutting off 3mm in on design. Please help. What am i doing wrong?

DM1 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 9 minutes ago, Drawy-mcphee said: I simply want 3mm bleed on an a4 page for brochure print. Using an Artboard? There is an issue with setting bleed if the document is on an artboard. If so, drag the doc layer in Layer Studio off the artboard, set the bleed, drag the layer back over the artboard layer.

Drawy-mcphee Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Thanks! I forgot to say i had it on artboards. I will try this in the morning and let you know if i have success🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drawy-mcphee Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Ok, I tried this and it still didn’t work, any other suggestions? I’ve attached the art boards. When I save with printer marks the crop mark are still sitting on the edge rather than 3mm in on artwork lfbcbrochure-trifold-final-print.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Just create an A4 print ready artboard (or add artboard later is probably easier). Then add bleed (3mm extends beyond page size).

Mine doesnt show uo at all then if i click off it and back om to bleed ots set back at 0. Like it was non existent. I can never see it when setting it either and i have clicked on and off the show bleed button too. Ive chevked and theres no update available for my app, dont know what else to do🤷♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drawy-mcphee Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 That would be awesome, thanks you so much for helping! lfbcbrochure.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Will post file tomorrow. Edit: I have attached your file with 3mm bleed now showing with print marks in Exported PDF. You should be able to edit further if needed. 🙂 Note that the iOS Files viewer does not correctly display multi page exports. You could use something like Documents (Readdle app) to check before printing. LFBC_fixed.afdesign Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
