Wojciech Krakowiak Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 @DuctTape Bleed should be outside of the document, because it's an area that is being cut of after printing, so the final product is in document size. Maybe try to google "What is bleed" or "bleed tutorial". Jobalou 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Tyson Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 No - bleed is supposed to be outside the document area. Bleed is an area required for professional printing (or printing at home). Anything that is supposed to go to the edge of the page should Bleed off the page. When you make the pdf with crop marks (or print with crop marks) then you will then have a slight edge outside the crop marks that can be trimmed off. This ensures that no slivers of white from the paper are left in the finished trimmed document. Jobalou 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
