Bleed in Adobe Express not showing up

Question

Hello,I am working on creating a system of templates for my marketing partners at work. On occasion bleed will be necessary. I've been testing how to do this and so far I've not been successful. I've turned on margins and bleed and have ensured all elements extend beyond the bleed. However, when I download the pdf for print the bleed doesnt show up. What am I doing wrong or how can I resolve this?

Hi @katie_3960Based on your screenshots it looks like you've done it correctly. The bleeds and margins within Express are pretty simplistic, the bleed will appear as a white area around the outside image with crop marks that are approximately 1/4 inch from the edge (1/8 inch for the white bleed & 1/8 inch into the outer edge of the image). This help page may be helpful too https://adobe.ly/4jMRnGlIf you require more versatile or specific bleed designations, you might need to resort to an add-on. I found a few in the add-on section by searching for "bleed". I'll include a screenshot for referenceHope that helps,Dave
