Exporting full bleed spreads

I've attached 2 example files to help me explain my problem.
I have a multi-page document (InDesign CS4) with full bleeds and facing pages that I need to export to PDF for a printer. Our printer needs each page separately with crop marks (no spreads).
"example-spreads.pdf" is what my InDesign file looks like.
"example-NOspreads.pdf" is what I want to do for the printer, but you can see the problem with the bleeds in this file.
The front/back cover pages are fine because they are by themselves. But the pages in the spread (red and yellow pages) bleed incorrectly. The bleed on the binding side of the red page is a piece of the yellow page, and vice-versa. But obviously, I don't want any page to show a piece of another page.
Is there an easy way to fix this?
Thanks

OK.
My personal favorite way to deal with this situation is to make the pages wider by the amount of the required inside bleed and add that same amount to the inside margin (turn on layout adjustment before you do this, and just for good measure try it on a copy). Add a pair of ruler guides and some manual crop marks on the master page to mark the inside trim, and set the inside bleed to 0. This won't work well if objects actually cross the spine, however, but that doesn't seem all that likely for a wire-o binding.
You can also go to the Pages panel menu and uncheck "allow document pages to shuffle" and click on any page and drag it horizontally away from its mate to break the spread apart. You'll see a vertical line when the spread is broken and it's safe to release the mouse. For this method leave tha pages at trim size and keep the inside bleed active. Cross-spine items will need to be duplicated on both pages (copy, paste in place, and adjust the frame to end at the inside bleed on each side before you break the spread). Someone might have made a script to automate this because it is a royal pain to do it manually for more than a few pages.

How to export full bleed pdf

New to cs5 & need to produce a full bleed pdf to make a business card..Is it better to do in Lightroom?

Um, I don't think it's any more complicated than this in Photoshop:
1. Create your image.
2. File - Save As, Photoshop PDF.
Here's a downsampled version of my business card as an example:

PDF export dropping bleed

Real quickly, I have my pdf export settings in PageMaker 7.0.1a to add .5 inches to magazine trim/document setup page size. If I place a full page ad with bleed in eps format, the resulting pdf image displays correctly within the full bleed size. But if I place the full page ad as tiff, then I am left with .25 inches of white space around the image. It is annoying and I can't even guess where the problem lies. Any sugeestions? Is this most likely native to PageMaker or distiller settings, pdf printer style, etc....? HELP!

OK, in all humility, i really can't explain why i can run it and others can't. i don't have a solid explanation. some in this forum would call it 'luck', but being the spiritual person that i am, i prefer something more along the lines of being highly favored. a few quick suggestions are as follows: run the install.exe as 'administrator', or even use compatibility settings set for XP sp3. other suggestions, install older software in safe mode -- this particular 'trick' worked for me on another XP OS machine after what i thought was a 'succesful' install ended up not so successful (program would continually crash on startup) in other words, idk. my suggestions, be persistent in your attempts and try something different each time. GOOD 'LUCK' to all!

Creating a church anniversary 36-page booklet/program with full bleed.

I am fairly new to CS4 InDesign but would like to create a 36-page Church Anniversary Booklet/Program with full bleed. The size of the program should be 8 1/2 x 11. I probably will need to print it on a larger size and get it cut. (1) How can I create this type of booklet? (2) What size paper should I use to get the full size of 8 1/2 x 11 (I cannot have white edges around the program). (3) How should I set up the bleed, slug? (4) Should I use facing pages. (5) I would like to use the same background on all sheets. Thanks.

What does " two-page imposed spreads" mean?
If you take two sheets of 8.5x11 paper in a stack, turn them so that the long edge is on top and you fold the left side over the right, it will look like a book in standard reading position. If you write a 1 on the front page, open the book and write 2 on the second, 3 on the third and so on, your last page will be page 8. If you pull the outside sheet and look at the page numbers, you will find page 8 on the left, with page 1 on the right, and on the back you will find page 2 on the left, with page 7 on the right.
Those pairs of pages (8 & 1, 2 & 7) are two-page spreads (pages that are beside each other), but specifically, they are imposed spreads, also known as printer's spreads. The position of a page within a printer's spread will vary, depending on how many pages there are. For example, a 16 page book will have page 16 to the left of page 1, and page 15 to the right of page 2.
When you compose the book, page three will be to the right of page 2, in what we call reader's spreads. You will want to compose in reader's spreads, and your print provider will impose the book into printer's spreads. It's important to talk to your printer before you set up the book, so that you will know what is needed.

Size of TIFF files for Full Bleed in InDesign?

I am doing a layout for a 8x10 landscape children's picture book. Every page is a simple full bleed of an image with reverse (white) text boxes. In my PS files, I have built in the 1/8" bleed and made them 8.25x10.25, however, when I place these into InDesign, they go beyond the cut box and look too big. I do not want to lose more than the allotted bleed.
If InDesign is only linking to my PS files, shouldn't I build in the bleed to the PS files OR does InDesign accommodate for the bleed? I have done 4 books using InDesign, and I always built in the bleed to the PS files, but this time I am using CS4 and am experiencing something different.
Thank you.

I am saving my PS files at 350 dpi. I would like a 1/8" bleed, so I have made them .25" larger than the 8x10 page will be after trimming.
I have been playing with these images in ID since I posted and it looks like if I set everything to zero except the bleed to 1/8" on every side, and only drag the loaded image to the end of the cut/bleed box, I get a perfect result.

Printing two pdf's as a SAME SIZED pdf with FULL BLEED?

i have Adobe Acrobat X and Preview (Lion and Mountain Lion) and i need to take two pdf documents and print them so that they are one document.
i am finding preview to be pretty fantastic but when i try this with two differently sized pdfs that are full bleed i am finding that preview is printing them both at the same size (great) /except/ with large white borders around each page. OTOH, when i try to do this in Acrobat X i am finding that it does the full bleed part but prints each page of the document at a different size because the originals are different sizes.
for the moment the Adobe forums don't have an answer for me and i am wondering if it is possible to do this in Preview or some other similarly convenient way.
i also made an attempt to resize the larger one in photoshop so it was the same size as the other one but this resulted in very large rasterization.
any help would be appreciated.
TIA

Not with Reader no.
Best I could think would be to place them in an InDesign or Photoshop document, make the needed adjustments then print them.

Full bleed background images

I have full bleed background images. They load correctly (proportionally) and quickly in firefox. In internet explorer, they take a long time to load and they are scaled disproportionally. Once I change the size of the browser window, they adjust to the correct scale. Once a page has gone through this motion, it stays correct when revisiting the page. On another computer, also in IE , they load incorrectly at first and after a few seconds, adjust to the correct scale. What can I do make sure the images load correctly in all internet browsers?

With CSS:
body {background: url(your_BGimage.jpg) repeat}
You need to use small, seemless images strips or tiles that are suitable for repeating across and down the page.

Large background images or photos do not resize in browser unless you build your site entirely in Flash.
Font-size is dependant upon the end user's browser settings. Viewport size doesn't effect text size.

PDF for ipad has white bars on either side instead of a full bleed

Hi there
i have been creating a pdf document in indesign cc. Set it up for ipad and in 1024x768 and for digital publishing/ipad.
Now when i send it to my ipad and download it from mail i have a white bar left and right on the horizontal layout. Top and bottom are bleeding right to the end.
I have it on every page and cant seem to find the solution how i can have it bleed out on the sides as well. Anyone has an answer for me? i am going nuts. haha

Hihi
Thanks for your answer Petteri. That could be it even though in adobe reader
its fine in 'CONTINOUS'mode where u scroll down. But the bars show on the
side in horizontal view when you view in "SINGLE PAGE' and you want to
scroll sideways.
Its truly weird. I think the best way is still to design it in 1024x768
don't u think? I want it to be full bleed and no white bars though.
Thanks much

IPhoto '11 Photo Album with Full-bleed Pages?

H o w d y ~
When creating an 8.5"x11" album in iPhoto '11, is it possible to remove the one-quarter inch white border that appears along the top, right, and left sides? When viewed in iPhoto, my album has no white borders [the pages are full-bleed], but the proof .pdf has these borders [though not along the bottom, oddly enough]. This is especially problematic as these borders cut into the photos. Attachments are screenshots of an album page viewed in iPhoto [no borders] and that same page viewed in the .pdf [borders have automagically appeared]. … Enlightenment appreciated! . . . .
                        ~ s k n a h T
       e k i M ~

==> [Please disregard the above. Turns out the white borders were an artifact of the method I used to produce the .pdf (command-P; Save PDF). When using option-Buy Book, the actual version sans print borders was created. Mea culpa!] . . . .

Export Full Quality Preset in iMovie 09?

Does iMovie 09 have a way to export movie in full quality? Can DV source be exported as DV?

If you choose Share --> Export using QuickTime... you can export as DV, as well as a number of other formats, and choose the settings for your export. There is no "Export Full Quality" preset in iMovie '09.

Missing grant with full export/full import.

We have the following problem which is unexplained:
Using Oracle 9.0.1.4 we full export a database and we import it in full mode in another database which is also running Oracle 9.0.1.4. The database has 1 application schema which owns a lot of PL/SQL object packages and triggers.
In the source database, all objects are valid and schema owner has SELECT privileges on V$SESSION and execute permission on DBMS_ALERT and DBMS_PIPE.
I cannot tell you if these privileges have been granted directly or with a role.
In the target database, package bodys and triggers using V$SESSION and DBMS_ALERT/DBMS_PIPE are invalid because schema owner has not the corresponding privileges.
Schema owner already existed in the target database. Is it normal than the corresponding privileges have not been imported ?
I cannot give you the exp/imp command lines but I'm sure full export/full import have been run (I've checked the import log).
Thanks.

See MetaLink Note:97902.1
When performing a full export of a database, both objects belonging to SYS and object privileges on SYS's objects (e.g. admin views such as DBA_SEGMENTS, etc.) are not exported.
To generate the missing privileges you can use the follwing script
Connect to the original database (the one full export was done from) as SYSTEM using sqlplus and run this script:
set hea off
set pagesize 0
set feedback off
spool objs_upg.sql
select 'grant '||privilege||' on '||owner||'.'||
table_name||' to '||grantee||' '||
decode(grantable,'YES','WITH Grant option')||';'
from dba_tab_privs
where owner = 'SYS'
select 'grant '||privilege||' ('||column_name||') '||
' on '||owner||'.'||table_name||' to '||grantee||' '||
decode(grantable,'YES','WITH Grant option')||';'
from dba_col_privs
where owner = 'SYS'
spool off

Help: How to crop (to PDF print) a full bleed document?

I have a document which is sized for full bleed printing. I would also like to make PDF prints of this document, but if I simply print, then everything will be off by a little. Is there a non-destructive way to 'crop' the document back to the paper size?

Do Save a copy, PDF, and in the Marks and Bleeds section, uncheck the printers marks, uncheck Use Document Bleed.
Unless I am not understanding...

Full bleed pages

I am about to order my first iPhoto book and thought I should check if anyone knows: if I have composed a 11" x 8.5" page in Photoshop at 300 dpi and drop it onto a full bleed page in my iPhoto book, will it be printed as it appears or will they use some of the edge to get full bleed, (thus cutting off parts of my heads, etc.)? I am assuming/hoping that they add any coordinating color bleed if the 11" x 8.5" needs bleed area? I made a PDF file as was discussed in this forum and when I printed it the pages looked fine as long as I set my printer, (HP Officejet 7410) setting on the Borderless Printing drop down menu to "less" with the Borderless Expansion slider, which seemed to give me full pages.
Would like to hear ASAP and thanks to any comments.

LJK:
I'm pretty sure it will be printed full page with no white border. If you open iPhoto's preference file with Pref Setter and search for bleed you'll find two Keys regarding bleed. The bleed amount is set to 9 (whatever that means) and the other key indicates that bleed will be used in books.
Some of the pictures of book at Apple's site do show a full bleed (no border).
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Full bleed / borderless pdf

Hi there,
I guess I am not the first one to ask, but is there a way to print to pdf in full bleed (without white borders where normal consumer model printers are not able to print). I was thinking about using a virtual printer driver which allows full bleed printing, but don't know where to look for it? Did anybody already find a solution on how to pdf full bleed?
Best,
Nik

Hi Nik B,
To make a full bleed PDF, you need to select a page size that's large enough to hold your bleed information. This may require a PPD with a custom page size capability.
I have one if you need one.
Example:
your page is 8.5x11
With .125" bleed, your page size needs to be 8.75x11.25.
Crop marks would require your page size be bigger yet.

Full bleed

would anyone mind helping me figure out how to print an 8 x 11 document as "full bleed"?
i have some documents that have colorful backgrounds and i only seem to be able to print to 8 x 11 with some amount of vertical white space on either side and perhaps some horizontal white space at the top and bottom.
i am a new user and it would be great to ptint the document as it looks in png at 8.5 x 11.
TIA

hi steve. thank you.
sorry, i was not sure how to phrase this.
i am trying to print this digitally so that it shows up when downloaded with the "full bleed" on the computer. it looks really stupid having this white border around the pdf print when the png or jpeg or psd is "full bleed" when i am looking at it.
also, i will probably want to print some things (maybe not this one) full beed on actual print out. in this case i imagine (?) i would have to englarge the original beyond the 8 1/2 x 11 to say 10 x 14 with the color margin and then cut it down to get a full bleed print out...?
THANKS
