Hello,

I've been trying to make bleed work for a long time, searched this forum thoroughly, and never found a clear answer.

 

  • I have an artboard of 24*36 in for a poster with a gray background.
  • I'm adding a bleed of 0.125 in on every side in the settings of the document.
  • I'm increasing the width and the height of the artboard by 0.25 in, in order to make my gray background extend into the bleed area. 
  • I export the artboard in PDF while checking the "include bleed" and "include cutting marks" setting.
  • RESULT : the cutting marks are placed at exactly the limits of the 24*36 poster, INSTEAD of the desired 24.25*36.25 limits.

 

How can I make this work? 

Thank you

Well thank you, I understand.

 

I never thought what you couldn't see outside of the artboard would still be taken into account during the export. Now I see why people were talking about the option to show objects going outside of the artboard.

 

Thanks!

You are welcome.

There is the clip to canvas option in the View menu. And one would think that removes the issue. But alas...

Only items above an artboard (outside of it) can be seen off the artboard. I don't currently like how artboards work in Affinity products.
