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
Another thought, is it a parameter in distiller I am missing?
Thanks, Ellen
Hi,
Maybe I am not explaining myself very well, which is not uncommon for me! I need to get the PDF to show the bleed tabs. With Acrobat you can increase the page size of your PDF and put in the cropmarks and registration marks for something like an offset printer. But even when I increase the page size the bleed tabs are still stopping at the edge of the virturalpage even though I know I have made the region off the page. I was able to create one of these PDFs showing the bleed off the page, but I am not sure which parameters I used and haven't been able to recreate it.
Thanks,
Ellen
Suzanne,
I finall got back to this. To get the document out I increased the page size then used Acrobat to trim the extra off and add the crop marks so that the bleed was off the page.
I just did a Print Preview and the extended page view on my next project that has bleed tabs. And yes the bleed tab is off the page just like I thought it was. But when you run this file through PE and distiller something cuts it off so that even when you extend the page size in Acrobat those bleed tabs are not off the page. So agin that leads me to a distiller setting, but I haven't found any information about those even on the Adobe site.

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.
