I am a design student and you're absolutely right, crops and bleeds are difficult to understand and are not very well explained. Thanks to you I now have a clear understanding not just of how to do it but also when it would be applicable and why it may be necessary. Thank you so much!!

Did a book for Amazon using InDesign and set up bleed like you did. When I got the proof copy, white spaces were on the edges of the images inside the book, to my surprise! Now that I've watched this, I suspect it's because I didn't check the area for bleeding when exporting to pdf. Will try again using your advice. Helpful, thanks.

Thank you for the informative video, I would like to print a book and I have 2 questions, could you please help me, 1. I have established 3 mm of bleed and extended the image, but when I convert to pdf it shows that the image only extended for 1 mm, how can I fix this problem? 2. how to bleed in case of interior part of the book? the image from the next page is extended to the page which does not have bleeding, is it normal? how to avoid this? thank you very much
@GDHT

Ok, I will try to answer these! 1. In your export settings, you need to set how much bleed to show. 2. Yes, it's normal I think - they will cut this off when printing. You can also reach out to the printer to find definitive answers on this. :)

Ok I think if someone could answer this question for me it will clear up all my confusion with live area, bleeds etc... If the brief says full page is 7''X10" and bleed page is 8.125"X11", does that mean i make the document 7"X10" and add the bleed to make it 8.125"X11"?

How do you save the crop marks to an Interactive PDF? I export as interactive pdf when creating editable documents. But no option to save crop marks?
@GDHT
3 жыл бұрын
You can't have crop marks with interactive pdf, because Adobe assumes they're intended to be for web only (never going to be printed). So if you wanted them, you'd probably have to create them manually on a master page, making the document bigger to accommodate them.

Very helpful and clear, thanks. Wondering if you also have an Indesign video that shows how to run an image over a 2 page spread for a case bound hardback book so that the image doesn't get 'cropped' by the binding? I'm trying to figure out if I should use 2 half images with a gap in the middle, or 2 full images and slightly overlap one onto the other, or something else entirely.
@GDHT
3 жыл бұрын
I don't have one like that unfortunately. I think I would do your second option - but split into single pages so they can both go down into the binding, if that makes sense.

Thank you for this! I've been trying to understand these concepts and it's been a little difficult, but seeing the exports you put out along with the crop marks makes it a bit easier to visualize how the paper is cut. I have one question. Since the margins around the safe zone may or may not end up in part of the cut, how would you go about putting whitespace around the safe zone content (as in, part of the design)? Is lining things up right at the edge of the safe zone a good idea, or should you add a sort of extra margin _within_ the safe zone?
@GDHT
5 жыл бұрын
When I design, I'm ok with images/color going into the safe zone, but I move text out of the safe zone, because you definitely don't want that getting cut. I line things up right at the edge if I need to, because the safe zone IS the margin - if they cut past it, it's the printer's fault - they should've made the template safe zone bigger. I assume it's got leeway built in. So no, no extra margin.

They're more of a layout decision - you can get to them via File > Document Setup. They add a guide so you can align text/objects 1/2" from the edge of the page (or whatever).

I wonder why my bleed mark doesn't match my bleed area, I've tried so many ways to make my bleed mark exactly on the edge of the bleed, but it doesn't work. Also, my registration marker isn't on the edge of the bleed area either. my question is: is there any way to make my registration marker, bleed and crop mark to be exactly on the edge of my final print area
@GDHT
Жыл бұрын
I never use bleed or registration marks, but I would talk to your printer and see what is expected. I have a feeling they're behaving just as they should, but I don't use them so I'm not sure. Your crops should be your cut lines, so they should be set to cut on the exact edge of your final print area. Is your artwork turning out the same way mine did in this tutorial, or is something different?

Question: I'm creating a book through Blurb and I'm really struggling to figure out how to work with their specifications. My book will be 6 inches by 9 inches. However, Blurb wants the PDF to measure 6.125 x 9.25. This is creating confusion because I'm not sure what size to create my page in InDesign. Should I make my page "6 x 9" or "6.125 x 9.25?"
@GDHT
Жыл бұрын
Normally that size would need 6.25 x 9.25 (1/8 of an inch on all sides), but I'm thinking you'll only make the bleed on 3 sides (maybe not the spine side?). So to do that, when creating a new doc, change to inches, then put each bleed at .125, except the left side. Leave that at 0. Then your artboard will be 6x9, but when you export you can include bleeds and your PDF should include everything. Here's another video that might help: kzitem.info/news/bejne/yImZya2fs2V2lJw

Slug is used to be able to print stuff that is off the pasteboard, so if you had some information about your design agency, for example - maybe a logo or something- that you wanted the client to see, but that you don’t want to print on the final, you can add slug space to add that information and it will show on proofs, etc, but not the final printout. I’ve never actually used slug in my life but I guess I could see how it could be useful.
