jwardzala Posted November 16, 2021 Posted November 16, 2021 I have set up the bleed for my book and extended the picture frames in the Masters. I am assuming the text frames do not have to be extended, is that correct? Quote
Wosven Posted November 16, 2021 Posted November 16, 2021 Only the elements that are at the border of the pages, in sort that when cutting the paper, the blade can be less accurate, there won't be any white paper showing once cut. Quote

There are text boxes at the border. Wouldn't pulling them out to the bleed get them cut off? Quote
sfriedberg Posted November 16, 2021 Posted November 16, 2021 The bleed area is what you might lose when the pages get trimmed. So no content that actually needs to be read should be in the bleed. In fact, no content should butt up against the inside of the bleed, you need a gutter or margin, generally. The bleed is where you extend things like backgrounds or paper textures to ensure they will run all the way out to the worst-case paper trim. Text frames don't extend into the bleed (unless having your words chopped off is a deliberate design decision). Quote
