clasppingoods Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Hello, maybe I missed something, but I still don't understand how I should create useful print PDF with crop marks and blending area. If Publisher could be serious working software, this is real basic, as well as more sophisticated export dialog. Any Idea, Thank you very much, Jirka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is impossible to print a spread - facing pages as a single page pdf and there is no gutter bleed. Something that is very needed for glue binded books.

Did not notice that. I am still having issue with placing two object on the gutter, both in the bleed. Is there a way to do it? placing them both in the middle 3 mm into the bleed, makes them show on the other page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Tyson Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 That's pretty normal behaviour for a spread - as you can see it's on the trim edge. If you want to bleed off the gutter - then you'd need to use single pages. Sorry - I don't think there's a way to automate this in Publisher. As the object will only go so far - think if it was a complex image of a face, if the image stopped at the nose, then there's no further information. So how would it know what to bleed to the next page? Basically - doing any wirebound books etc, requires bleed on both edges - so you'll need to turn off Facing Pages to use single page instead.

What are you talking about. It is pretty common to set up a book in spread mode with the intention of creating a glue bound book. ID offers gutter bleed. And there is nothing special about this feature. It actually makes more sense to create a book in spreads than single pages. Single page documents brings other issues. If you want to put an object on both spread, you have to put it in the document twice. Let's not forget the whole issue of not being able to see what you are actually creating. I hoped I was missing something and this was actually possible in APub. Since this is not resolved, I think it is fair to point it out. Would be great to get this implemented. I use this kind of placement pretty often, so for me is quite must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Tyson Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I may be misunderstanding your issue here. I have exported both INDeisgn and Affinity files to PDF and get the same result. Untitled Aff.pdf Untitled-1.pdf Please can you clarify? I would love to help you with this. PaoloT and Thisismandatory 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This actually was very helpful. It was on me. Idk what I was thinking. I went on replicating your thing and tried a few more thing. Two objects that go in the gutter and one that spans over, and it works well. Thank you Eugene! I have though notice something else. In facing pages, the bleed cannot be set separately for inner and outer edge, only left and right. I don't know if that was intentional.

Kevin Jacobs Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Im trying to print out a bottle label. I checked off all the appropriate menus in the print dialog box. The only thing that prints out is the bleed marks. No trim marks. I need both to print out so that i can cut out and mock-up on bottle. Someone please tell me what im doing wrong. Thanks.

Kevin Jacobs Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Perhaps my printer needs to be updated. Im just not able to print out crop/trim marks in my Affinity Publisher Im able to view the trim marks after opening up the PDF in Publisher but im not able to print it out only the bleed marks print. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks. Here is a screen shot of my print dialog box. There are no advanced settings in my Printer dialog box.

Wosven Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hi @Kevin Jacobs Why don't you simply open the PDF in your PDF viewer and print it? There's no logic in opening it in APub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
