DingesDesign Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hi, first of huge fan of the fact that I can almost trow out my indesign. Props for Affinity!! What I noticed when creating a new document in AFP is that you do not have the option to enter the amount of bleed you want on the document. This is to be found afterwards in under: File -> document setup -> bleed would we nice to have this in the new document creation dialog as well solaris, Chrika, stmartin and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan75 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Furthermore, when you add a new page, you will have to enter the bleed again as it will not automatically apply to new pages. This looks like a bug to me. Fixx and Roland Dicke 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly Levi Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Completely agree. This was one of the first things I looked for - and I had to look hard before I found it. Please add it to the New Document dialogue. dalan_fsu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexe007 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 would also be nice to only insert it once (for top/bottom/left/right) Roland Dicke, dalan_fsu and iaing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbwd Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Definitely needed in the New Document dialogue box. I’d also like to see a Margins and Columns option added which is the same as InDesign. I use both features on every document I create. dalan_fsu 1 Quote He never fails to achieve new heights in being stupid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaing Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Agree with all, should be at document creation, should not need setting per-page or on a master page, and amount on each side should be linked by default (so I only type 3mm once), with an option to unlink them if needed. That's in addition to bleed being a visible guide off the page. This applies to Designer too, and I know visible guides of bleed has long been asked for there, so really hoping this can be done in one hit for all the 1.7 versions Graeme W and Stefan75 2 Quote MacBook Pro M1 Max, macOS 12.6.1 Monterey Affinity Designer : 2.0 Affinity Photo: 2.0, Affinity Publisher: 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
if.rivic Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Downloaded AFP this morning and quite like it already. I'm going to +1 this thread, especially what @iaing said last :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friedb Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 How can i make the Bleed visible in the canvas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidHeatherington Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 InDesign has a tool to view the bleed so that you can set images etc accurately and when exporting to pdf to send to a printer there is an option to show the bleed, crop marks etc. These features are vital to producing a print ready file.

I just tried it and it didn't seem to work: If you set a bleed in the master page and apply that master to the pages in the document, those pages will still not have a bleed. Additionally (although I'm not sure if this is a bug): If you've got a four-page brochure and export the single pages, the "inner bleed" between pages 2 and 3 will display correctly but not between pages 1 and 4.

Thisismandatory Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 bleed and slug <3 needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJr Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Like InDesign, I would also like the ability to automatically copy to the others, so if I want a .125" bleed all around, I only need to enter it once. dalan_fsu and Thisismandatory 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cineman Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Yep. Sync lock needed both for Margin controls and Bleed controls (once added). Also page numbering. None of these things are in the New Document dialog. All need to be for first release IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anybodesign Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hello and thanks for Affinity Publisher I agree about the bleed area, it should be a setting for every new document, and it should apply to all the pages. The bleed area, and the edges of the page, should also be visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
