Bleed exporting as white on PDF

[kay7539]

I'm making an A0 poster with a 3mm bleed. It's in the document setup, it's all linked, all settings are established but the problem is in exporting the bleed.

My bleed is showing as a white 3mm border and isn't showing as the extended graphic images. Ive tried everything on every discussion board, I am a frequent user of indesign and im at a loss this has never happened before with exporting bleeds.

The document itself (screenshot) shows the correct format in bleed preview but when exporting pdf it always turns up with white edges

how do i fix this???

None of those positioning problems are showing in my DB files, have you looked at them? Everything seems to be optically centered on the trim and columns.

Screenshot with positioning errors is from your post #19. The Dropbox files are good specifically because you removed Page Box edits in Acrobat Pro before placing. I'm just reiterating that the only non-destructive solutions were to export as PDF 1.3 (granted no transparency issues) or to fix the crop of the imported document using Acrobat.

A0 poster shouldn't need bleed anyway. Large format rarely requires bleed.

Basically,the finish size should be 5.125x4.125 with 0.125" bleed. I removed the "bleed" and increased the document size to 5.375x4.375. Doesn't matter, if you export the file as-is regardless of bleed settings there would be a white border. But, you can crop it out in post production
