Visible Bleed line required by printer

May I pick a few nits here?

Every screen shot here is showing the trim marks intruding into the bleed, this is not good, the trim marks should be offset beyond the bleed size, as shown here.

In my opinion the original printer's request to show the bleed line could be the result of a submitted pdf that is larger than the desired page size, possibly created by someone who knows that bleed is needed, but does not know how to set it up in the document properties and export settings.

There is an Acrobat & Reader preference to show or hide the art, trim & bleed boxes under Page Display, and also a check box on the Output Preview panel in Acrobat.

Occasionally the trim, bleed & safety are indicated by a spot color line or layer that can be turned off for printing, but this is uncommon, unless there is diecutting needed.

Actually, Derek, I think that the printer may actually want the bleed lines (I've had this request). See screen shot:

Make sure that the Document Bleed has been set in the Document Setup dialog window (first picture) and "Use Document Bleed Settings" is checked in the Marks and Bleeds section of the Export Adobe PDF window (not shown here) and that "Visible Guides and Grids is checked in the General section of the Export Adobe PDF window (second picture).

I think the printer means Crop Marks which you can add under the Bleeds and Marks tab in the Export Adobe PDF dialogue box. Also tick "Use Document Bleed Settings".
