Question

Bleed tabs

Hi,

I have my bleed tabs set up in a region that goes off the page. I was able to create one PDF that Iwas able toadded the crop marks and the bleed was off the page just like it is suppose to be.

BUT now I can't get the PDF to make the bleeds bleed. It must be a setting in the preflight or something like that in Acrobat, but it just isn't wanting to work for me. Anybody know the correct way for me to hold my mouth so these will come out? My hair is so thin I can't pull anymore out!

Thanks,
Ellen

    Hi Ellen,
    What is the default printer for Publishing Engine? To determine this select:
    Start > Programs > Arbortext > Arbortext PE Configuration x.x

    Default Printer is displayed on the Setup tab which should be the tab shown
    on startup of PE Configuration.

    Paul,

    Looks like the Printer Driver is Adobe PDF Converter. The only printer setup on the server is Adobe PDF. The printing Preferences for it are the same setting that are selected in the Distiller.

    Sounds like it's time to open a call with support.
