Question

InDesign to Adobe Express to Print

Just starting to work with this feature and I wondered if these files can be exported with crops and bleeds into Adobe Express so the end user can export to print.

I'm having the same issue. My original Indesign file has a bleed, but when I export it to Adobe Express it does not carry it over. I'd love if they fixed this bug so it carries over the bleed from Indesign.

Is it a bug? It might be intentional. I pointed out earlier there's an option for bleed in the settings in Express. 

 

For Express it's about displaying online and you don't need the bleed. But the option is there. I haven't tested any of it at all. 

 

So what way do you see it working? How can it be improved? 

 

I'd say it's more of a feature request than a bug.

Why use this workflow at all? (Serious question; I see the place of AX but not as any particularly useful intermediate step for production from the major Adobe apps, which you obviously have.)

I don't even want to use express. It is for a partner that wants to control the editing on the piece and it is ultimately a print piece. I just want to be able to tell them they can have it printed the same way I would have if done directly in InDesign. I just don't know the answer. To answer your question not and ideal workflow and I would rather not.
