29axe Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) In publisher I use 'spreads' view. The printing company wants me to set a 1 mm bleed and export as pages instead of spreads (option: 'all pages' on export page). The thing is that my exported PDF shows the inside bleed of the next page instead of its own. Same for the next page (shows bleed from previous page). [see picture] I'm no expert in publishing but this looks weird from my point of view. Is this the normal behaviour or is it a bug? I want to be sure before sending my file for printing. Thank you Edited June 27, 2019 by 29axe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Callum Posted July 2, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 2, 2019 This doesn't happen for me when I export the file what are you using to View the exported PDF? If you increase the bleed to something like 10mm to make it more visible does the issue still occur? Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

29axe Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 I tried to increase the bleed to 1 cm. I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro to view the files (I also tried Adobe Reader).

Thank you With a facing page document, then this is expected. If you have content that goes across spread and it will be printed as a booklet/book then this is fine as the printer will impose the pages with the inner bleed removed. If you don't need to have content that goes across the facing spread (both left and right pages) then switch the document type to non facing.

I want to print a brochure with stapples (from printcarrier), so I would rather know that before ordering so that I don't lose 500 bucks on that.
