AFpub 2.6 Bleed is on wrong page


Recommended Posts

The inner bleeds are exported on the wrong facing page. This happened in 2.5.2 too - I hoped it would be fixed with 2.6. The first picture shows the layout in AFpub, the second show the export to PDF.

I'm using AFpub on Windows 10

I've had this discussion before.

There is another thread with a good explanation, why the inner bleed is not important in most printing cases, but spiral binding remained as a use case where a wrong bleed might have an impact.

And my printing service asks for a bleed on all 4 sides of the paper, so I would not expect them to accept, that the bleed is on the wrong page.

Then it is not technically an "Other New Bug or Issue in the Betas" and should be discussed in the non-Beta section of the forum.

I don't see any topics where it was raised as a Feature Request, nor reported (and accepted) as a bug previously (though I do see some of your earlier questions about it).

Does your printing service want you to give them a PDF with spreads, or individual pages? And if you export as individual pages, does the problem still occur?

I don't think that's a bug. InDesign exports bleeds for facing pages in the same way.

However, in ID one can pull facing pages away from the spine to avoid bleed crossover. And this is scriptable. As well, one can move facing pages so they are no longer beside each other. 

That said, I always create work which will be spiral bound as non facing pages.

Which cannot help when the intent is a spiral bound publication when items have to bleed to the inside. 

Nor is bleeding across an issue with a facing page document. In fact due to any misalignment, bleeding as it works now is a necessity.

The print service required single pages and that's where the problem occurs (the screenshot from Acrobat is set up showing two pages just for illustration). Did not test it but I believe, it would work when exporting spreads. It is not an actual and eventually urgent problem. The book is already printed, but it needed some workarounds on my side to make it:

  • Document setup as single page - not facing pages.
  • separate Master pages and Text styles for left and right page, as the Paragraph alignment "to the spine" doesn't work with single pages.

I brought it here up again, as Patrick liked my comment from June, 22nd and I thought Serif would eventually consider an implementation.

* Create a new document, facing pages, default master, default 3mm bleed

* Right click on Master A in the pages panel - select 'Spread Properties'

* Select 'Master A Page 2' (Top right)

* In the X: box type '+6 [ENTER]' - For two 3 mm bleeds

* Ensure Resize linked Pages is All or matching

* OK

You now have facing spreads with a gap in the middle where you can put dedicated bleed content

NB: I've just noticed a bug with drawing the first page - It's drawing everything too far out to the left when the origin of the leftmost page isn't 0 - I'll get that sorted.

so it works only with new documents? Not, if you set an existing document to facing pages?

I didn't even realize that you could attach more than two pages together like that... learned something new. Thanks!

That's a new function introduced in the 2.6 Beta:

The issue "Page drawn too large after moving facing pages page positions" (REF: AF-4779) has been fixed by the developers in the latest beta build (2.6.0.2831). The fix is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Affinity Info Bot to notify us.

I'd think that the issue fixed in the latest beta is only the small bug noted here at the end:

For your inner bleed question, does the method proposed in that post help?
