The bleed box gets changed in the pdf.

Hi @Ananya0 , Make sure you include the Bleeds on Export—see Marks and Bleeds:

In Acrobat > Preferences > Page Display, do you have "Show Art, Trim, and Bleed Boxes" turned ON?

The display perfoprmance dialog you show us has nothing to do with whter the blled is included in the PDF. That's set in the Export options, and it is not included by default. Did you include a bleed allowance when you exported the book?

Crop marks are also not included in the default settings and must be set by you, if you want them. If you do, you should change the offset value to be at least as much as the bleed so they fall outside the bleed area.
