Hi all

this has been an annoying problem i can't seem to fix

1- below is my parent page for a left sided contents list

 

 

2- when i PDF the book WITH bleeds

3- the bleed leaks to the next printable page

4- but it only leaks for this page, not the page turners etc

5- help - fire as many questions as you need. ill try and screenshot and answer all questions in a single post

 

Thanks so much clever people

    Thanks so much Rob

    This is exactly what i was looking for. You are right, the printers will trim the "invasive bleed" away

    This will do for me, but it still feels like fudging the bleed to disappear

    The bleed should come to the red line on the page with the bleed, not invade the next pages' attributes (as above)

    It seems a sloppy work around for such a top notch piece of software. But hey im happy

    Thanks again Rob

    Hi @Sean5CF1 , With facing page documents the Inside Bleed comes from the spread's opposite page. Unless the document's binding method trims and exposes the inside edge (e.g., wire-o), the Inside Bleed gets removed by the printer during imposition. Typically for bindings where the signatures are folded and gathered, the Inside Bleed should be set to 0.

      What's the binding method? Signatures get folded at the spine, not trimmed. When the pages are imposed into printer spreads there can't be an inside bleed.
