Hi

 I am trying to export a pdf document for digital viewing. I have a bleed set up in my document but DO NOT want it to show while printing. When I export with the bleed setting unchecked it is still exporting the bleed area. I've done this 1000 times before and have never had this problem. Please help!

    Does this happen in just one file, or in every document you're tried it on?

     

    If in just this file, there could be some corruption. You might trying saving the file as IDML: File > Save As > InDesign CS4 or Later (IDML). Reopen the IDML file in InDesign to see if it is working correctly.

     

    If this happens in other files, you can try restoring your InDesign preferences and caches as described here:
