Hi, I'm exporting the InDesign PDF file for printing and the image from the previous page is spilling to the next page. I know it's because of the bleed setting, but I just want to ask if the printing result got any problem like that or it's still normal. Thank you!

    It's normal - it should be a little bit as it goes into the trim area where the trim (crop) marks are.

    The printer can choose to ignore bleed or to use it as they use speciliased imposition programmes. 

     

    You should liaise with your printing service to see if they would like you to include it or not.

    If it's that they don't want it - then you just put 0 for the inner bleeds.

     

    But most likely they would prefer it.
