Valentín Benavente Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Hi all! I'm dealing with the bleed functionality in this new beta, and don't know how to use it properly. In order to easily explain myself, here are two docs: first of them shows what I'm trying to accomplish: 3mm bleeding and crop marks. The second is the result in AD beta: only crop marks, no matter the bleed I set in the document configuration. I think AD correctly applies a bleed, but as I am unable to enlarge the image to fit that bleed, it remains white, so it's not useful. Any help? By the way, many thanks for your work! Your apps evolve really fast. Val tarxeta impec print.pdf tarxeta impec aff.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFisher Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hi Val :)At the moment, the only way you can view the bleed area you have applied is in a Print Preview or when the document has been exported.This is something we are aware of and looking to change soon! As mentioned here. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentín Benavente Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hello, thanks for the answer. I am aware of this; in fact, I don't care about previewing the bleed. My trouble is that I don't know how to increase the size of the image to fit the bleed applied; currently, my design fits to the artboard, but I need it to grow 3mm beyond it, leaving the crop marks 'behind' to indicate the original size. ¿Any way of doing this? Thanks again! Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Are you using File > Export to produce the PDF? If so, be aware that it is using the wrong colour profile and/or crashing, so it is best avoided in this beta. It also sets the bleed wrong in the page, but it does clip to bleed and draw crop marks in the right places. In this case it is drawing and clipping as if the bleed was zero. Is it possible you unticked Bleed in File > Export > PDF > More? If not, and if you're sure you've set Document Setup > Bleed correctly, could you attach the .afdesign file, so I can have a look at that's happening?

Valentín Benavente Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Checked that Bleed is ticked in export; bleed correctly set in documet setup. I'm attaching the .affdesign file. The problem might be mine, not understanding how this works. Thanks for your patience. V. tarxeta impec.afdesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Thanks for the file. There are two things happening here. The first is our bug. The bottom group with the big grey circle has opacity of 75%, which causes it to get rasterised - and it gets clipped to the document size in the process. It needs to allow for bleed when that happens. We'll get that fixed for the next beta. The other thing is that this group contains a clipping curve of its own. The top of it is high enough to include the top of the grey circle, but it clips out the left and bottom edges well before the 3mm bleed area should end. This means that even with bleed working, the document won't export like "tarxeta impect print.pdf" unless you remove that clipping curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentín Benavente Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Understood! Many thanks. V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
