[2.0.3] Shuffling pages with full bleed Masters yields incorrect bleeds at export


Recommended Posts

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a document with the following settings:
    • An even number of pages, for example 4
    • Facing pages, starting on the right
    • Some amount of bleed, for example 3mm
  2. Edit the default Master A to have a green rectangle object covering the whole page, including bleeds
  3. Create a Master B, do the same as above, but with a red rectangle, for easy visual reference
  4. Apply Master A to pages 1 and 4
  5. Apply Master B to pages 2 and 3
  6. Move the page 3 to page 1 position, this immediately breaks the bleed on page 4

For a reference on the above, see the attached Publisher.mp4 video.

Next steps:

  1. Export the file as PDF with the following settings:
    • Preset: PDF/X1-a:2003 (I think any preset will work, but this get the job done fast)
    • Include bleed
    • Export Area: All Pages
  2. Open the PDF created on Acrobat Pro (or any other PDF software that can show bleeds)
    • Page 1 is OK
    • Page 2 rightmost bleed will be a red object, green was expected
    • Page 3 leftmost bleed will be green, red was expected
    • Page 4 rightmost bleed will be empty
  3. If using Acrobat Pro, will be able to edit the objects
    • You'll notice the bleeds really are trimmed
    • For example, there's no green object below the red strip in page 2

For a reference on the above, see the attached Acrobat.mp4 video.

Thanks!
