Bleed pane

Use the Bleed pane to allow items to bleed (extend beyond the page edges) at printout. Bleed settings apply to every page in the layout.

To create a bleed by defining how far the bleed extends from the layout page edges, choose Symmetric or Asymmetric from the Bleed Type drop-down menu.

  • To create a bleed that extends the same distance from each page edge, choose Symmetric and enter a value in the Amount field to specify the bleed’s distances.
  • To create a bleed with different distances from each page edge, choose Asymmetric and enter values in the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right fields to specify the bleed distances.
  • Print and PDF output only: To extend the bleed to encompass all page items that extend beyond the page boundary, choose Page Items.
  • Print and PDF output only: To define whether items that bleed are cut off at the bleed edge or allowed to print in their entirety, check Clip at Bleed Edge.
Note: The Bleed pane is available only if Custom Bleeds XTensions software is installed.
