Default creating a bleed and printing it to pdf.

Hey Guys and Gals,

I am trying to create a page that is the size of an A4 with a 3mm
bleed all around, and I would like to see crop marks.

What I have done is....

Started with an A4, and than shrunk the margins to 0 on all sides.

Than under printing, and advanced settings I clicked on bleeds, show
bleeds, crop marks, and used Adobe PDF to print. It didnt work out.

I dont know why. Anybody have any other ideas as per how to do this?

Thanks.

Thanks for that. However I saw those as well. My hiccup has been in
printing it to Adobe PDF just to make sure that it is working
correctly. I set up all of the settings but I am not sure if it is
working correctly. Hence my desire to print it to a pf to see if the
crop and bleed marks show up.

Any ideas? Thanks for your reply.

You need to setup your Acrobat to a custom size.

So for example. I want my page to be an A4 with a 3mm bleed all
around. What page do I need my Adobe to be?

Can you provide some instructions please.

A4 = 297 x 210mm

A4 + 3mm on all sides = 303 x 216 mm.

Page sufficiently large to also show crop marks: Larger again.

Haloo

I have been able to print from a publisher booklet to a pdf with adobe giving
a 3mm bleed as follows:
Creating a 3mm bleed for a booklet in Publisher 03

First:
In booklet document, format page image so it extends beyond the page
boundary by 3mm

Set up page and paper sizes
Page size ...
1. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
2. On the Layout tab, note the height and width of the current page size.
for an A5 booklet W=14.85cm H=21cm

Paper size...
On Printer and Paper tab.
3. On the Name list, click adobe / pdf software
4. On the Size list,
(a) select a paper size that is larger than the page size that you noted in
step 2.
(b) create custom as follows
On the Size list, click Properties.
In the Printer Name Document Properties dialog box, click Advanced.
On the Paper Size list, click PostScript Custom Page Size.
In the PostScript Custom Page Size definition dialog box, set the Width and
Height fields to the correct values a few cm larger than your publisher page.


Click OK.

Now to check
your page is set to booklet A5
your actual image on the page extends beyond the screen page
your pdf is printed on oversized paper showing crop marks

Any good for you?
