MS Office Forum / Publisher / Commercial Printing / June 2007How can you print a larger bleed area?
We have a publication with 100 pages, and the printer needs a larger bleed area. When I create the bleed in publisher, and save the pdf to a larger size paper it seems to default to .25" bleed. I need at least .5" bleed to show on the pdf. Any ideas?

What the heck are they doing? Standard bleed now is .125". Sending .25" is quite generous! There is no way to have Publisher increase or decrease the bleed area. It is kind of possible to increase it beyond .5", but it's messy, requires a lot of hand work in Acrobat with PitStop or Neo. I have to ask again, why "at least .5"? That's completely asinine... And that's being generous!~ The only thing that I can think of is because of a very specific manufacturing requirement. But even then it is a pretty far fetched reason that defies logic.

And it sounds like they are *not*. A 100 page saddle stitch shouldn't really be bound that way. It should be done by perfect binding.
