Place existing afpub doc with bleed

[Busspi]

Hi,

I am aware that documents can be exported to different file types with the bleed included but for those of us that print as well as create layouts it would be advantageous to be able to place an existing afpub document onto another with the bleed included. Lets say when placing a single doc onto a larger sheet for multi up printing. At present I can see no dialogue to choose an option to place with or without bleed. By default the doc places at original doc size......

Cheers

I just ran into this as well and it is definitely an important feature. In my specific case, I'm working on prototypes for DVD boxes and the inlays are to be printed by a photo lab as regular 20cm x 30cm photo prints and then trimmed manually to the exact final size.

What's even worse, the workaround I would normally use (going through a temporary PDF) is not an opting this time since there is a bug that prevents the live effects on the type from exporting to PDF correctly in this document.

Having the option to include bleed on placed files is very useful whenever something is printed/prototyped on an office or photo printer to be trimmed manually – for me this often happens with prototypes, CD/DVD covers, postcards, small signs/labels etc.. InDesign's "Add Crop Marks.jsx" example script makes this really easy to set up.

+1 for this feature

EDIT: Already implemented, I see now. Very nice!
