InDesign Booklet Print Setup - Not Bleeding on top and bottom

I have a book I'm trying to export to PDF and then sent to print (through Fiery).

The booklet bleeds on the left and right sides, but not top and bottom.

 

I've attached what my file setup looks like and photos of the book.

Is there anyway to get it to bleed without having to cut the inside pages?

 

I'm dyin' over here!

If you want to print to booklet from Acrobat you will need to export a PDF with outside bleed and no crop marks. There is a work-around if you want to include crop marks, as explained here in a related thread:

    I exported with outside bleed and no crop marks. But it's not bleeding on the top and the bottom of the pages. Only the left and right

    I think you're answering your own question here.

     

    If you don't specify bleeds top and bottom, you're not going to get any. If you do specify bleeds top and bottom (and outside), and design into the bleeds, you'll get the the three-sided bleeds I suspect you're looking for.
