EddCh Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 So I have successfully created a 32pp document and it is now ready to be sent off as a PDF to be printed. However, with many pages having 3mm bleed, I am finding that the resulting PDF has omitted bleed even though it was specifically set to include it (the option was ticked) when exporting.

vonBusing Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I confirm this bug. I have tried with different master pages with bleeds defined, in a document. Only the first page of the documents gets bleeds on the pdf output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveporter Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I am not seeing bleed on the output pdf although I am specifying bleed under document set up. What am I doing wrong? I am also seeing a cross on picture boxes. How odd? test bleed.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonBusing Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi Steveporter. Do you have enabled bleeds in the export dialogue ("more" button at the bottom of the dialogue)? The crossed box is a smart placeholder for a picture. The cross will disappear if you add a picture. If you actually want a coloured rectangle, you should add a rectangle object instead.

Steveporter Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Brilliant. Thank you. It is just a shame that it does not show the bleed on the original but I suppose that will come with the next version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff AdamW Posted September 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 3, 2018 I don't think it is actually the bleed on the export that is failing. Rather is is that new spreads are not adopting the document bleed settings. I've just tried changing all 4 of my document bleed settings to different values (so that a change is registered) and then back again and the export works fine on my test document. Obviously we will fix this as soon as possible, but it looks like it is possible to workaround if you have the patience. woefi, Fixx, vonBusing and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonBusing Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Thanks AdamW. I removed my master pages, selected all pages and changed the bleeds settings in the document settings to something else, applied, and then back to the initial value. All pages have now correct bleeds on the pdf output. Yes, it is a little unintuitive, so I hope it gets some attention in future updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddCh Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 So, this is what I’ve tried so far: 1. Ticked the Bleed setting in export dialogue 2. Add bleed to all ‘spread’ settings for every page and for the document 3. Created a new, blank, document then copy/paste elements from my working document 4. Exported pages one at a time 5. Exported all 32 pages as one 6. Tried both facing and non-facing page settings 7. Print to postscript file (using Adobe PDF printer driver) and bleed settings in there None of the above worked, except for pages 1-9. The workaround I used in the end was to set the document size large enough to accommodate my own trims and bleed (on a master page). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
