affinota Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hey, I try to make a pdf for a printing company and I must deliver one page design (page by page). The document I have is designed in double page design. I have graphics within, which go over two pages in the middle. What is the best method to deliver "page by page PDF" using this double page design, BUT with the crop margin in the middle? The problem is, if I just export page by page, I will not get the margin in the middle (between the double page). But without that margin, the graphics will not go completely to the middle. Just as on the outer borders, if I don't add extra margin there and fill it with the graphic itself, the graphic will not go till the very end of the page. I hope it's clear what I mean Best regards affi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try "Area: All Pages" rather than "Area: All Spreads" in the PDF Export options.

I may not be understanding what you need, but you can define inner and outer margins and inner and outer Bleed areas for a Facing Pages document. And they will be applied if you Export using the Pages option.

affinota Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 it's difficult to explain. So I mean the bleed of the document, because that bleed will be cut by the printing company. The bleed areas on the double paged document are without the bleed in the middle. The inner bleed is just the left bleed. I can not see any inner bleed in the double paged document.

If you are using Publisher and have a two page spread and you have set up bleed (usually 1/8th of an inch or 3mm) for all four sides of the spread then the inner bleed will be magically created when you export as single pages.

It will be the part which is not on the page but on the previous/next page. Just try it out. Make a document put a picture spanning the two pages and then export a pdf including bleed and crop marks. affinota 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

The crop marks are just at the end of the graphic (between the former dual page). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bruce Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Have you chosen a PDF export Preset that includes the bleed? Does the Publisher Document have Bleed set?
