Question

Problem with bleed during export - forms seem to change position and overlap

Hi,

I really need your help with something. I am trying to create a recipe book, and before that I made some tests. 

I need margins and bleed. 

I tried to create some forms, but when I export it the result is not as it's supposed to be at. I also imported it to KDP to check the result, and after 19 versions and tests I still didn't find the solution. 

The forms seem to overlap, and change position. I don't even understand how it's possible. 

I use adobe for a few years now but I am a beginner on Indesign. 

I did checked the "use document bleed parameter" (or something like that, my Indesign is not in english) when export. 

My kingdom for a solution

The document should export correctly as a PDF as long as "Spreads", "All Printer's Marks" and "Bleed and Slug" (either using the Document Bleed Settings or with the values of the bleed inserted in the dialog window) are done as shown below. That PDF can then be used for printing. The same settings in the Print dialog window would be used for printing the document directly out of InDesign.

Hi,

First of all, thank you so much for your answer. The only problem is that I have to import a non spread pages PDF on KDP. 

I find another solution but I'm not sure it's the best : reducing the inside bleed to 0. It's solves the problem, but won't that be a problem when they will print it ? 

I also don't know how they print it, i supposed it's one plage with two pages that they fold right ? 

 

again, thanks a lot !
