Creating Magazine with bleeds

Engaged ,
Aug 13, 2019 Aug 13, 2019

I have a 28 page magazine plus cover with facing pages with a .125 bleed on 8.5x11in pages with a two page spread design. When designing artwork I have to design passed to the bleed area which makes the page width 8.5 + bleed on the edges that face outside. The way that we work is pages need to be arranged and the order needs to be sorted right before we go to print. So now the left pages are the right hand side and visa versa, causing the bleed edges to be recut so that iut doesnt bleed into the other page. Is there any other way to design so I don't need to keep going back and redesign according to bleed?

Are you sure the printer requested that you do that in InDesign? I find it hard to understand why any printer would care how your InDesign file was set up. Once you send a PDF it will be individual pages, anyway.

Time for a phone call to get an explanation.

Rearranged for what purpose? Imposition?

That's the printer's job, not yours, so please clarify this workflow for us so we can help.
