Failix Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Hello all, I have created a Publisher document in A4 format and then placed and scaled it in an A3 document. The page box is "Bleedbox". On the right outer side there is a rotated text frame, which is about 4.5 mm from the right document edge in the Publisher document. If I export this document as a PDF, this text frame is suddenly directly at the edge of the page, right at the bleed. Here is a screenshot: I have attached the two documents. I would be very interested to know what is happening here, because I don't have a solution for this. Thank you all very much!

Failix Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 It gets a little harder ... You can see from my screenshot that the imported (and embedded) document has really been placed up to the outer edge of the bleed. When I now download and open my own document, a piece of the blue area is missing on all sides. I don't understand anything anymore at the moment ...

Old Bruce Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Part of the problem is that your placed document is not A3 size.

Failix Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 No, it is an A4 document and has been scaled to A3. This is how it looked after it was placed linked. Before uploading here in the forum, I embedded the placed document. I just did the same again, with the same result: the dimensions are changed, plus the Page Box selection option is now missing. So my additional problem is caused by the embedding. If I leave the A4 document linked, this error does not happen. Therefore, I am re-attaching both documents to get back to my actual question. In addition, I have added an orange check box that keeps the expected position when exporting as PDF.

The page box is "Bleedbox". If you include the 3 mm bleed and try to fit these new dimensions onto an A3 document you won't be able to. It is a function of geometry.

Failix Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Correct, it does not fit exactly - the height is correct, but 0.34 mm protrude on the left and right in an A3 document with 3 mm bleed as well. But that should not be the cause of the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I think what you are trying to do is place a Not A3 sized document into an A4 Document. The problem is that the Not A3 document has a different Height : Length ratio from an A3 document. This is because you are including the bleed which adds 3 mm to each edge. You would have to use the same ratio for the Top + Bottom bleed : Left + Right bleed. 3mm and 2.121951219512195mm for the bleeds will give you the correct sized document.

Failix Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 The approach of my question yesterday was wrong, as I have since found out by experimenting. The problem has nothing to do with scaling, but it does have to do with importing a Publisher document in which a style has been applied into another Publisher document. I will look into this in more detail and then possibly rephrase my question here. Thank you for your attention and sorry for the trouble!
