Does Acrobat DC have a facility for setting gutter margins when printing to pdf for (for e.g.) and Amazon KDP paperback book? I can see software called How to set gutter or margin while N-up PDF pages? [A-PDF.com] but surely there is something within Acrobat? (Gutter margins, BTW means LH and RH pages will have larger inside margins than on the other three edges.)

I had the same problem. My pdf was created the right size for the book that was printed, but when I tried to use it for Amazon they said the margins and gutter needed to be larger. I can't figure out how to make the changes on acrobat so if you found a way please let me know.

Hi carol_1304,

Thank you for reaching out.

You can use the Crop tool under Edit PDF in Acrobat to make changes to the margin. Please refer to the information in the following help document: https://adobe.ly/3G0Yz1Z.

Hope that helps.

Let us know if you are referring to something else.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Are you trying to create cover & spine spread pages? I can't think of a reason to add additional bleed in the spine, unless you are printing a wiro-bound book, in which case you would create and send single pages, with bleed on all 4 sides. Can you give some additional details about what you are trying to do? You might be able to do this using Acrobat print to booklet, but the single pages would need to be set-up with the correct bleed to begin with, for it to work.
