Full bleed on facing pages - InDesign

My printer is requiring a full bleed on a book--including on the inside/gutter. I have a graphic that needs to go from outside bleed to inside bleed. However, the bleed area shows on the facing page. When I create a PDF it still shows up on the facing page. See attached. How do I make this so the bleed doesn't print on the facing page?

 

I've tried switching off Facing Pages, but then it throws off page elements and I'd have to go through and adjust items on hundreds of pages. Surely I'm not the only one to have encountered this problem.

If you need to do this with all the pages, you can use this script, I think: http://kasyan.ho.ua/indesign/all/split_spreads.html

Select this spread in the Pages Panel, right click on it and deselect Allow Spread to Shuffle, then grab the right hand page in the panel and pull it to the right until it separates from the left.

zin the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
