Bleed line not exporting to PDF Print, even with 'Use Document Bleed Settings' ticked

Hi all,

I am using Adobe InDesign 20.0 with Document Setup set to include a bleed of 0p8.504 (or 3mm). In the InDesign workspace, I can confirm that the red bleed line appears and my images extend to the bleed line.

When I export the file to PDF Print, I have the 'Use Document Bleed Settings' and 'Bleed Marks' ticked, but the resulting PDF does not include the red bleed line. What am I missing?

Please see screenshots attached for reference.

I appreciate any help!

As already pointed out the red line you see in InDesign is an InDesign only guideline and it is not exported to PDF.

Only the Crop Marks and Bleed Marks will be visible on your exported PDF.

If you need the Bleed line you can draw it yourself on the Parent Page and set the stroke to Overprint - set it as a Spot Colour and call it something unique like NonPrint Bleed Keyline.

That's how I would do it.

But I'm not sure of your needs - if you require this then I expect talking to your print provider would be better benefit so you can both understand what is required and how to set up for their needs.

What units are you using for the document? Not pixels, by any chance?

Literally, first screenshot 😉

Oh, [shoot]. I read only digits and didn't notice the p's... thought this might be another case where pixels resulted in such small widths they were not noticeable. Neeeever mind.

What software do you use to open PDF and check those bleeds?

Hi, I am exporting to Acrobat 8/9 (PDF 1.7) and opening in Adobe Acrobat Version 2024.005.20320

Thanks!

DOes it extend to the line? Is only the bleed frame not visible? You can show it in the preferences of Acrobat Pro: Preferences > Page Display > Page Content and Infromation > Show art, trimm and bleed boxes.

Hi, thanks for the advice. The bleed frame is visible in InDesign, but not when exported. I've attached a screenshot to show how it looks in InDesign (red bleed line visible) and how the same corner looks when exported in Adobe Acrobat. The exported version includes the crop marks but no bleed line, which my printer is requesting.

There is another export setting 'Include: Visible Grids and Lines'. When I tick this option, it exports to PDF with the bleed line included, but then it also includes the pink margin line, which I don't want.
