Bleed, Trim and Document sizing...

So I'm trying to set up an Indesign document for a magazine ad. I was given the sizing in the first image. Did I set up the bleed, trim and magins accordingly?

So for a different magazine, if it said Trim size: 8.375 x 10.875 inches
and bleed size 8.625 x 11.125 and live area 8.25 x 10.75
Would this be the correct set up?
I'm sorry, just so many different magazines with different wording! Its confusing!
Thanks for your help!

How to set value for trim and bleed using jsx script?

I have tried using bleedoffsetRect but somehow it is not working. Can anybody please help me on how to set value for trim and bleed using jsx script? Any example will be highly appreciated.
Following is the code I am trying with:
var _saveName = new File ( root_path +_strFileName+".pdf");
    var _saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
    _saveOpts.printerResolution = 300;
    var bleedarray = new Array();
     bleedarray[0] =9.00;
     bleedarray[1]=9.00;
     bleedarray[2]=9.00;
     bleedarray[3]=9.00;
    _saveOpts.bleedOffsetRect = bleedarray;

I would expect although I've not actually tried this for the bleed off set box to be larger than the artbaord and the first two values to be negative or 0…
var bleedarray = new Array(-9,-9,artboard.width+9,artboard.height+9);
Where 'artboard.width' & 'artboard.height' you will have calculated from your file. An Array(9,9,9,9); would not constitute any boxes bounds.

Trim and bleed marks

I created my file in Photoshop but then I had to transfer it to Illustrator to create trim and bleed marks. I managed to add crop marks by creating a rectangle, placing it in the middle of my picture and selecting object/crop area/create.
However, when I try converting my file to PDF, none of my marks can be seen. I also tried setting everything up in print dialog box but nothing works. I am creating a file for commercial printing. I am using Photoshop and Illustrator CS3. I really need help with this. Any ideas on how to solve it would be great!!!
Thank you!

Thanks. I did try it the other way as well, but then my crop marks show out of artboard for some reason and I need to adjust them manually, hence changing the trim size, which I don't want. If I don't adjust them to appear on artboard then they don't show in PDF. That happens when I use the rectangle in trim size.
However, when I only use the command that you mentioned without creating a rectangle first then my crop marks show in the middle of my artboard, in other words, if it was to be trimmed to the right size, the crop marks would be seen on the printout after trimming. I hope this makes sense, but I've been trying to do this for two days now and I am losing my mind.

SetPageBoxes + Trim and Bleed

Hello,
I’m using Acrobat X prof and I’m trying to set page boxes (crop, trim and bleed) through javascript but the only box I’m able to set/change is the cropbox!
This is the code I’m working with and what I run from within the javascript console:
var rCrop = this.getPageBox("Crop",this.pageNum);
rCrop[0] += 56.69290161; // Adjust Left Side
rCrop[1] -= 56.69290161; // Adjust Top Side
rCrop[2] -= 56.69290161; // Adjust Right Side
rCrop[3] += 56.69290161; // Adjust Bottom Side
this.setPageBoxes("Crop",this.pageNum,this.pageNum,rCrop);
By changing “Crop” in the last row to “Trim” or “Bleed” and re-execute the code I thought I should be able to set those boxes as well?
Eventually I’m going to set all these 3 boxes to different values but for now I’m just trying to set the bleed and trim!
Any ideas of what I’m doing wrong would be much appreciated.
Regards
MD

It seems that Acrobat doesn't "recognize" the page boxes immediately after they been set by the script.
I used to check if they were set by going into the "Set Page Boxes" dialog but looking on the different boxes showed no changes!
But if you do a preflight and check the Overview -> Page... Page information you will see that the different page boxes are in fact changed!
So save your PDF and reopen it to be able to check the page boxes through the dialog!
Hope this information might be of use for someone else.

Change color for trim and registration mark

The trim and registration marks are having the color name "All" in the generated pdf from InDesign. Any one help me out on how to change the color to K (black) while generating PDF out of InDesign.

Is it possible to make to 4/c to 1/c (black 100%) while generating PDF itself without adding marks in the document?
Maybe, in CS6, by exporting to Grayscale, but this will make everything black ink only. Otherwise, no.
To add your own marks, add a slug area to the file, draw whatever you want for marks in that area, using [Black], and turn off automatic marks in the export dialog, but Include Slug Area under the bleed settings.

Help Please! Having trouble setting up bleed, trim, margins for a large banner ad

Hi all,
I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up my document in InDesign 5.5. I'm confused what the bleed, trim, margins should be. Can someone help me with it? I have attached the specs as an image.
Thank you, Claire

Personally, I'd set this up at 37.5 x 88.25 and set the left and right margins to 2", the top to 2.75" and thye bottom to 7.5" to define the area that's inside the dotted line and not covered by the clip or still in the housing (or you could set it up the same size with 2" margins all around, then add ruler guides at 2.75 from the top and 7.5 from the bottom for reference). Anything that is color and touching the margins needs to extend all the way to the edge.

Issue in setting bleed to a document as InDesign CS5 Server plugin

Hello all,
I am creating a new document in InDesign CS5 Server through C++ Plugin and trying to set bleed to the document. I have used the command to set bleed. But it doesn't seem to apply properly. I check in the debug version also. It show success to the command but when I open the document there is no bleed applied. I am using following command.
InterfacePtr<ICommand> pageSetupPrefsCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kSetPageSetupPrefsCmdBoss));
if(pageSetupPrefsCmd == nil)
CAlert::ErrorAlert("Error in SetDocumentBleed function, pageSetupPrefsCmd is nil.");
break;
InterfacePtr<IDocSetupCmdData> docSetupData(pageSetupPrefsCmd, IID_IDOCSETUPCMDDATA);
if(docSetupData == nil)
CAlert::ErrorAlert("Error in SetDocumentBleed function, docSetupData is nil.");
break;
pageSetupPrefsCmd->SetItemList(UIDList(m_pDocument));
docSetupData->SetDocument(::GetUIDRef(m_pDocument));
docSetupData->SetNPagesPerSpread(1);
docSetupData->SetPageSize(pagesRectangle);
docSetupData->SetPageOrientationIsWide(bWide);
docSetupData->SetUseUniformBleed(kFalse);
docSetupData->SetBleedBox(bleedRect);
ErrorCode error = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(pageSetupPrefsCmd);
if (error == kFailure)
CAlert::WarningAlert("Command failed");
Can some one please help me in letting me know what wrong I am doing in this command? This has become quiet critical for me.
Thanks all in advance.
Regards
Farzana.

Hello All,
I was able to resolve this by using IPageSetupPrefs instead of IDocSetupCmdData interface.

HTML document sizing

Can I upload an HTML document that isn't sized 1024x768 px? For instance, could I upload a document sized 1024x900px and allow for vertical scrolling? This is specifically for a horizontal-only iPad publication. Thanks!

When you import an HTML document, you can set it a Smooth Scrolling option.

Lifecycle Workflow platform and database sizing guide?

I've been asked to investigate the technical aspects of the Lifecycle Workflow and Reader Extension products.
I've gone through the various adobe websites a great deal and found installation guides but nothing that provides platform selection and database sizing recommendations.
We are considering both JBoss on Suse LInux and WebSphere on AIX as a platform.
Is anyone aware of any recommendations as to the choice of a platform?
Any experiences or recommendations out there from the user community?
Also, is there any documentation that gives guidance to database sizing? Frankly, I'm not sure I understand yet whether it's just the routing/metadata that gets stored in the workflow database or the actual documents as well.
Anyone point me at or provide me more technical documentation?
Thanks
Verlyn

Hi Verlyn
I can answer some of your questions, based on my understanding.
The workflow engine does store the document itself as part of the workflow. In fact, it records the historical state of the document at each point that someone in the workflow worked on it. You can see this by looking at the "Participated" item in Form Manager, where you can see the historical value of each form that's been submitted. Any workflow attachments are also stored in the database.
It gets a little more complicated. Depending on how you structure your workflow, you can choose to either store the entire PDF (in a document or binary variable) or just the data (in a form variable -in which case the data is merged with an xdp template whenever someone wants to view it).
Document variables are also a little more intelligent: you can specify a size threshold. Below that threshold, the document is stored as a blob in the database - above the threshold, the document is stored in a folder on the file system. The default threshold value is 64K.
I hope this helps...

How do you trim a document in PSE 9?

If elements or paper are larger than the document, how do you trim the document as a whole when finished?

Duplicate the background layer, then shut off the visibility of this layer by clicking on its eye icon.
Make the background copy layer active, and try CTRL+T
Does that work?
If you want just a selection, rather than a global resize, you need to make a selection with one of the tools, and put it on its own layer.

Data View Web Part - List of Subsites and Document Libraries under Current Site - Must be able to Package as Site Template in SPDesigner

Hi Guys,
On the home page of each sub site I would like to be able to show a list of subsites and Document libraries that are under the current subsite.
I started investigating a solution using Datasources with SOAP requests sent to the server but it is very difficult to understand how to surface it on the Data View WebPart.
I have tried with the search results webpart but the problem is that it does not work well when packaged in a Site Template.
Please advise.
Thanks and Regards,
Rhyan

Ok,
Here is the problem:
When creating a mysite from powershell or script, apparently you can ONLY do this from a wfe (or a server running Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application in services on server).
You CANNOT create mysites from script on your appserver if it is not also a Web Application Server. I confirmed the same is true in my test farm. I guess I was always running most of these scripts on the webserver.
I searched all over and cannot find this documented anywhere.
Who do I contact to have Microsoft document this?
It's Thursday morning, I've been working non stop since Saturday morning so you don't have to :)

"Downloads" and "Documents" Stacks in the Dock 10.6 Snow Leopard

Is there a way to get the little blue folder icons that say "Downloads" and "Documents" to appear on the stacks in the dock instead of a thumbnail type icon of the first document or download in the stack? 10.6 Snow Leopard. The Apple Web page describing "Stacks" as a new part of Snow Leopard shows them.

Yes, right click (control click) on the icon and select Display as Folder.

Arching of files is gone from the downloads and documents folder

The arching list of files is gone when rolling over the downloads and documents folder. I removed the downloads folder by accident yesterday from the dock. Once I found it, I replaced it back on the dock and now the arching of files is gone on both folders. I have them as lists by date. I have restarted my MacBook Pro several times, clicked on the dock and properties and nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how to get it back? Are there any settings that I am missing?. Thanks!

Right click on the folder in the Dock (or hold down the Control key and click on it if you have a one-button mouse), and choose "Stack" under the "Display as" section, and "Fan" under the "View content as" section in the resultant contextual menu. You can also choose how they are sorted from this menu as well.
