dreizehn37 Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 PDF export of a glued book not correct. I have hero photos on top of a page. The photo needs to 3mm lager on the left AND the right side, because pages in glued books are single pages. The photo part, which should be in the inner bleed of the page, is in the bleed of the other side. I added my PDF export configuration and two page where you see that the photo is in the bleed of the wrong page. Quote
Old Bruce Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Actually it looks correct to me. I would need to know if you used SinglePages or Facing Pages for the layout of the the book in Publisher. I am guessing you used Facing Pages. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

dreizehn37 Posted March 20, 2023 Author Posted March 20, 2023 Yes, I used facing pages. Why is it correct? I need the bleed on the single and not on the facing page. I is not happening, if I use single pages. I added two test files. Am I able to change the settings from facing pages to single pages in the document?

Old Bruce Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 The reason I say it is appearing correctly is because the Pages have images that are flush to the spine, meaning there is no Bleed. Both of the documents have the same 17 mm margins set for left and right, so you will have no difficulty with left or right pages. However, many Facing Page documents have different sized margins for the inner and outer setting. Add to this the use of page numbers occasionally being at the outer edge of the pages and you will come into difficulties with multiple Master Pages for odd and even numbered pages. I cannot tell sure if you have symmetrical margins set for the Left and Right pages from the screenshots in your first post. I suspect you do have symmetric margins. My take on this is to ask yourself if people are going to be upset if there is a 1 mm bit of white paper in the spine of page 14 where your Group image is. Readers will notice the white edge if you have no bleed on the outer edge and that is why we have bleed there.

dreizehn37 Posted March 20, 2023 Author Posted March 20, 2023 OK, I know that the withe line in the middle of the book won't be seen, but from my point of view it is not correct. There should be a difference between spread and page. On the spread is no bleed in the middle - correct. (1 spread = 2 pages - stiched) On the page (single page export) which is needed for glued books (PUR), it is wrong. Why is the bleed of left page (blue box) in the bleed of the right page (green box)? I found no way to change the setting of the document from facing pages to single pages (publisher version 2.0.4). The workaround I found with the test files is to import the pages from the facing pages file to the single pages file. The result is as I expected. I have to test if everything works (ToC, Idx, ...)

Because that little bit of blue is the actual Left Page. It will be trimmed off. Imagine you had the Facing Pages spread for pages 14 and 15 and you wanted the image of the people to be spread from page 14 over onto page 15.

MikeTO Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 I recommend exporting with Area set to All Spreads instead of All Pages and then the bleed for a left page won't bleed onto a right page and vice versa.
