Print Bleed Generative AI

[Mike Witherell]

Hi gang,

I am very impressed with Print Bleed Generative AI in Adobe Illustrator 2026.

Is that new feature also in InDesign?

Hi @MikeWitherell,

Glad to hear you're enjoying the Print Bleed Generative AI feature in Illustrator 2026. That feature isn't available in InDesign yet. At the moment, InDesign only supports manual bleed setup, and the AI-based print bleed generation hasn't been introduced.

I'll share your feedback with the product team. In the meantime, please create a UserVoice request for this feature and share the link here in the thread so others can upvote it as well.

Best, 

Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,

It would be a feature perfectly suited for InDesign, and I was surprised to see something so pre-press show up first in Illustrator. Adjusting artwork to bleeds is a common chore in page layout work.

Of course, the implementation in InDesign would have to be more complex. Whereas Illustrator is likely one art on an artboard being adjusted, in InDesign it would have to analyze any frame near or touching the page trim edge across many pages. It would likely need to generate a list of which ones you would like to adjust and which ones to leave alone. At any rate, I would think that most of the time it would not really require AI to make frame adjustments. Good rules-based or machine learning would usually suffice. Ideally, it would see the difference between a photo that needs padding to the bleed versus an unassigned frame filled with a swatch color that simply needs to adjust to the bleed edge.
