Hi everybody, Recently i start to have a lot of work with a big variety of sizes, for evrything materials, but this is not the heavy work the mostly is be adding an image as background and bleed, this is necesary after the print proccess to give a good finished to art. At the end you have to cut this bleed to have the real size, for example: A letter size art with the bleed could has 8.75 x 11.25 inches after the cut have to be exactly 8.5 x 11 inch. Have you ever considered add this necesary option? i know that people can export to png and choose if you want to export the page or the total image, with the total image you can solve the problem because de background is bigger than the area but png is nos a good format for offset print process, so after export the png you have to do other steps for this art works in offset printers.

Hi. Even though it's possible to add bleed manually (I could recommend about 10 different ways to do that), it would be beneficial to have the option, since it's a bit of a pain if you forget, and some print companies like 3mm, some require 5mm, so having a margin value that could be changed at whim is definitely something that would make pre-press export (and resizing) easier. So the questions: What would the margin effect? Would it only affect export to pdf? Would it affect the canvas size? Would it require markers to show where the margin is? Input welcome. -C On Fri, Sep 29, 2017 at 6:57 AM, Ryan Gorley <ryan@...3592...> wrote: > José, > When I prepare print artwork I just set the document units to inches, the > document size to *include* the bleed margins, and the Scale to 300.

Just to be sure (probably stating the obvious, and not understanding the discussion): There is a 'bleed' setting in the dialog you get when you export to pdf, where space (in addition to the page) can be added to all sides of the page. That bleed is not visually marked automatically, and it's not part of the document settings, but using one of the guides extensions, one can at least make it visible.
