Exporting PDF with bleed and crop lines

[velarde]

Hello.

Did a quick search and couldn't find it on other threads (hopefully it's not repeated) but how do I export a PDF with bleed and crop marks?

I've setup the bleed in the document and see it on the work space but when I export to pdf the bleed is not added.

 Also how do I add visual crop lines and other printer marks..? is this available yet..? Couldn't find any checkbox at export time.

Thanks

P.D. Also not sure if this is really a bug and belongs in this  sub-forum; maybe add a Publishers General !uestions sub-forum?

This options is only available when you select export. There at the bottom of the dialog window you should have a More button.

Select if from there.

Thank you very much Seneca!

 

Found it now and works as expected. Great.

 

Didn't know we had that "more" button at the pdf export! I'm guessing we will get the "visual" bleed in the workspace in Designer in the next 1.7 update?

I assume so.

The 'More' button is more than little easy to miss! Would love to see the UI improved here. Once found, it works well though.

I tried to export PDF with bleed activated - but the export shows no bleed.

Version 1.7.0.128

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums  

In build 128 (Mac build) there seems to be an "include bleed) on the PDF export (and all other Export formats now) and another one when you press the PDF 'More' button!! These 2 options are not linked and it may be that only one is joined up, we are just investigating at the moment.

This option (Include bleed)  is also available in the PC version (build 128).

Thank you! I tried it with a new document - and it Works:-)

Yes, but it is there once on the export PDF dialog on Windows and it is on twice on the export PDF dialog (and again on the More  sub-dialog) on Mac

@Patrick Connor Yes, I've made that same observation. And the two options are not linked. If the 'bleed' is turned off under 'more' it will still be on in the export dialog, and vice-versa.
