Inner bleed and margin dictated by spine/page edge

Hello,
I've been tasked with a manual spread; my Id experience is very basic/limited. The master pages have been set with two facing pages. On the outside edge of each page is a coloured column that contains certain colour coded information (similar to how a phonebook works). Because of this, the page edge margin (1.0) is double the width of the spine margin (.5). The problem that I am encountering is that as I adjust pages' sequence, the content becomes skewed. For example, when a right-side page is moved to a left-side location, the page content aligns to the page edge and becomes skewed. How can I fix this this so that the content aligns to the margins according to page edge/spine and not left/right?

Turn on layout adjustment before you add or remove pages, or add/remove in pairs only.

Proper bleed and margin settings

I have been working on a project and using 8 x 11 document page size. I set my margins 0.5 in and bleed at 0.18 in. One printer said it's ok to use for printing and now another printer says the settings are not correct. Are there any proper settings for documents or is each printer accept different sizes?

1/8" bleed is pretty standard I think anywhere. Is it possible that he's saying you don't have the right bleed because your files don't actually have the bleed? Are you exporting it to PDF with bleed? Just because you have the bleed set in the document won't mean that your exported PDF will have bleed. You would have to check the bleed in the export dialog. Even if you built the document with .18 or .25 or any bleed setting greater than .125 doesn't affect what your export is.
When you export the PDF with .125 bleed set does the file have white edges? Showing your page bounding box in acrobat to see.
For margins .5" is good. I generally do everything with .625" margins and at minimum try to make sure no type gets anywhere near where punches would be, whether files will punch or not. Even if the client says the jobs will never 3 hole drill I like to air on the side of caution. Banking on that being true is fine until someone decides you need to punch and end up with a 400 page catalog that needs fixed. 1/8" isn't much on a few pages, but gets worse and worse the more pages you have. Also clients have a tendency to trivialize 1/8" when bills come for fixing a few hundred pages of content.

Help! Changing bleed/margins on even & odd pages in same file?

I'm laying out a children's book and the printer requires the interior files to be submitted in single page layout(no spreads). The binding side margin and bleed is different than the top, bottom, and outside edges - basically the pages mirror each other. How do I set up the document so the even pages have one setting and the odd pages have the mirror settings ( without laying it out as facing pages in spreads)??

Unless this book is being wirobound there's no need to have bleed on the inside edge.
This is a wirobound book http://www.promotionalmerchandise.co.uk/images/T/A5_Wiro_Bound_Poly_Plus_Pad.jpg
All the images inside this would be single pages, so it would need to bleed all the way around on all edges.
If it's perfect bound http://www.allionprinting.com/wordpress/images/perfect2.jpg or saddle stitched http://www.bestbookprinting.com/img/saddle-stiched-lg.jpg
Then you do not need to bleed on the inside pages.
Usually anything that crosses the spine will be printed on both pages.
If you your intentions are to have the image go right into the spine area then butt it right up against the spine DO NOT CROSS THE SPINE or else it will appear on the facing page.

Question regarding bleeding and facing pages.

Hello,
i'm in trouble with my first InDesign document which is a 96 pages Magazine. It will be printed on A3 sheets stapled in the middle. My printing guy said that it's ok as A4 pages with 3mm bleed.
So now when i'm trying to export as a printed pdf (i check mark that i want to use the documents bleeding settings) it exports with sections from left and right depending on the pages (the left page exports with ?? i guess 3 mm ?? bleed from the right page and so on). If i override the bleeding settings and i set it to 0mm it all ok but i fear that some pictures or text might get cut off since i have all planned with the bleed markers in indesign.
And i can't uncheck the facing pages since i have some graphics (charts and so on) that spread from one page to another (on same spread).
My question is ... is there anything i can do and still use bleeds or (ignore "inside bleeds" or something) or is it ok to use the export as spreadsheet instead of individual pages since he wanted A4 pages?
Any help for a newbie would be appreciated. Thank you.

You should ask the printers to use PUR (polyurethane reactive) Bind when making a perfect bound book - that's a much stronger glue than EVA. It won't even break apart or fall apart going from freezing cold (out in the car over night) to being warmed up, which happens with EVA binding. But the PUR bind seems to be a lot more popular and stronger.
Failing that, getting the book threadsewn also helps to keep pages together. If you have a large print run and need these to last, then I suggest perfect binding them with a threadsewn finish.
I've definitely seen and done 96pp saddle stitched (well personally I have imposed, printed and delivered these). You might have to sacrafice a drop in weight on the body text. It can get ugly, but it's definitely doable.
My suggestion here would be to ask the printers for a similiar 96pp saddle stitch sample that they've done before, to make sure you're happy with it.
In fact, you can ask them to send you out a dummy (a blank version of the book trimmed and folded) to make sure you're happy with it.
It really is disppointing to get a printed job back from the printers and you discover you are not happy with the binding method.

I need a 3-inch top margin on the first page of my letter and a 1-inch top margin on subsequent pages. How can I do this?

This is so easy in Word but I have spent 2 hours trying to figure it out in Pages. To print on my boss' stationary I need a 3-inch margin on the first page and a 1-inch top margin on the subsequent pages. When I change the top margin on page 2 in Inspector, it changes the top margin on page 1 to 1-inch as well. In Word this is an intuitive, 2-step process.

Hi Dan,
Don't confuse "intuitive" with "what I'm used to."
Pages has "Document" margins, which apply to all pages of the document, and "Layout" margins, which may be set to provide additional margin space in a layout.
Start by setting the Document margins to 1" all around. This is the default setting for the (word processor) Blank templates. You can check it (and adjust it if necessary) in the Inspector. Open an Inspector window (View > Show Inspector). Choose the Document Inspector (first button).
Switch to the Layout Inspector (second button). Remember that you already have a 1 inch top margin, so to produce a 3 inch margin before the beginning of this layout, you'll need to set a 2 inch Layout margin "Before" the layout.
Hmmm... Depending what you're defining as 'steps' for the process in word, and considering that the document margins in Numbers are preset to 1" all around, this appears to be a 1-step process in Numbers:
Step 1: Set the "Before" Layout margin to 2 inches.
Done.
Regards,
Barry

I am looking for an App that gives me some graphics to title pages and margins in word documents

I am looking for an App that gives me some graphics for Word 2011 title pages, and margins. A range of screen backgrounds for the page would be useful as my word documents are sent mostly online. ...appropriate for business topics.

I use documents to go and find that it works very will. It also has a desktop program that will allow for wifi syncing of documents outside of iTunes. It, like any app, won't have all the bells and whistles and formatting goodies of a full fledged program, but it does have basic formatting (bold, underline, italics, indents)
I don't think it comes with many fonts, but the iPad itself doesn't have a lot of fonts either.

How can I fix this? Text and images collide, space and margins are not taking into account. The whole page layout is a mess.

Hi,
Whatever I design in muse is totally different from what the preview in the browser shows. Texts crashed with images, and spaces and margins are not taken into account,
Is there a way to fix this? Is it a bug?
Thanks.

HT3384 How do I change margins and header footers on a pages document?

Hi can anyone help me on how do I change margins and header / footers on a pages document?
Many thanks

Oddly, when one enters text that is a paragraph string longer than the width of the the page, the text doesn't wrap. There seems to be something a bit wonky with the margins, but perhaps it's something else. I fiddled with styles to see if I could control it, but to no avail. I'm giving up and boing back to '09. Each time I think I'll switch to iWork 5, I encounter some other restrictive feature that sends me scurrying back to '09.

FF 6 "Page Setup" missing "Format & Options" and "Margins & Header/Footer" tabs

Running 6.0.1 or 6.0.2 on FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE when I select File->Page Setup the standard popup window no longer has tabs for "Format & Options" and "Margins & Header/Footer" that I see on Windows XP when running 6.0.2 - this would be okay were it not for the fact that printing (using CUPS on FreeBSD) no longer prints the headers and footers (which I see just fine when I do Print Preview) something in FF 6.x has regressed and is affecting Page Setup.

Yep, this I know. And have long since done this (probably before FireFox was called Mozilla). In fact my margins are set the way I want them (and have been unchanged for years - at least since 2006). That was the first thing I checked.
The fact is ever since I upgrated to 6.01 from 5.x (which was a few weeks ago) my printing from FF6 has not included the footers and headers. As I've said, I can see my footers and headers when I perform Print Preview, but they do not appear on the printed page(s), I truly believe this is changed behaviour due to the upgrade to FF6. Next week I will try a screen capture of my Print Preview to include an image for the "Add images:" feature when posting a reply, but I don't know how to show the physical printed page lacking those same headers and footers short of shooting a photograph with a macro lens and including that as an image. Therefore for now, you will just have to take my word for the fact of missing footers and headers. Also, next week I would be able to post here my about:config settings for the margin preferences which I assure you have remained unchanged for several years. FWIW, printing from Opera 11.11 to the same printer from the same workstation where FF6 is running does include my footers and headers. To my thinking this fairly much puts the blame for this problem on FF6. Thanks.

Bleed and crop marks in Pages '09

Need to export pages document as PDF with bleed and crop marks, HOW do I do that?
The printer needs to have bleed in the document to be able to crop.

Hi Daniel,
Welcome to the forum.
Pages does not have bleeds, crop marks nor slugs.
You will need to increase the page size all round by 3/8" or 10mm and add them as 100% cmyk rules to the corners.
Best done in Word Processing mode with the crops as master objects so they appear on every page.
Crude, primitive and harking back to what I had to do back in the 80's and early 90's, but Pages seems to be in a time warp.

How to set headers, footers, and margins in pages?

I'm using the pages app to write a paper. An I want to set my headers, footers, and margins to 0. So that way they won't show in my Microsoft word. Can anyone help me with that? I'm also blind an I use voiceover. So I would need step by step instructions on what to do. Thank u.

You can create left and right single quotes with option + }, and shift + option + }, respectively.
Double quotes work the same way using the { character substituted above.

Custom page layouts for iPhoto books- bleeds and type

I've been digging through the forum for info on creating custom page layouts. I have the basics: print PDF (to capture the page BG and graphics elements), manipulate in PhotoShop and place the custom page as a full page photo.
How does iPhoto deal with bleeds? Since I'm trying to recreate the style of the other pages I'd like it to match.
Is all type in an iPhoto book rasterized? The printed PDF retains type. Will rasterized type in PS layouts match "native" text in iPhoto?
I haven't purchased a book yet and I'm wondering if the book is sent to Apple as a PDF with vector data. If that's the case can custom pages be inserted into the PDF with vector type intact?
Thanks all!
rg

gatz:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't know much about bleeds but you can manipulate it in the iPhoto preference file with Pref Setter.
Regarding the rasterized type, you'll have to give it a try and then create a pdf of the book to check it out. In iPHoto 5 we used to be able to get a copy of the pdf file that was uploaded to Apple but in V6 that's not possible. I think the pdf file may be the same as we get when creating it via Print to PDF. Here's the info I received from Apple about book quality and materials:
I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
"Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with RGB color space are recommended for best results.
While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.

Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
BOOKS
All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
Hardcovers Books
The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
Softcover Books
The softcover books come in three sizes:
- Large 8.5 x 11 inches
- Medium 6 x 8 inches
- Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
CARDS
All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
CALENDARS
All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:

I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum."

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.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

About Bleed and Save to .pdf

I am having a go at a business card and a letterhead which is a spin off from designing a logo for a web site. I felt sorry for the web site owner and just said, "I'll do that."
Having never produced stuff for print before I have read a bit about it and just want to give the client an illustrator file that she can upload to a print company and get small quantities as she needs them. I have downloaded templates from a few of these and it seems that a 3mm bleed and a 5mm safety margin is the usual tolerance but I am also getting that printing staionery is not very precise in terms of cuts if you work to those dimensions.
So, I decided to make some elements go way over the edge of the page boundaries rather than try to manage tiny areas of white space around the content.
Does any of that sound like I'm missing the point?
Now, when I saved as .pdf from Illustrator it didn't seem to acknowledge the bleed for one element but it kind of made it fit. I put a simple path at the very edge/bottom of the page and lined it up with the bleed marks but the .pdf file has it all in the page.
Do you think I might have done something wrong there?
Thanks
Martin
I'm plucking up courage to show you what I've done!

Martin,
Presuming you know the dimensions of the business card (apart from A8 and ID-1, each country (group) has its own size), it depends on a few things, such as:
1) How close to the intended dieline are the crucial parts?
2) Does the card have a solid background colour (possibly none/white)?
If the card has a solid background colour and if the crucial parts are at a safe distance (which they should be in any case), you may just place all the cards on one page close together, upon a sufficiently large rectangle with the background, and set marks to cut the rows and columns of cards, no need for actual setting any (individual) bleed.

CS4: margin relative to spine?

I'm laying out a book with anchored objects in the heads. Objects are anchored to the free side of facing pages, text is aligned against the anchored objects, like this:
I have a 3p3 margin on the left and right, but what I really want is a 3p3 margin opposite the spine. That feature is unavailable in CS4. Notice that Tip#67 should fit on one line, but it can't because of the right margin. A text wrap on the anchored object would work, except for the bug that wraps don't affect the first line, so that's out.
Any suggestions for a non-manual fix?

I guess I don't understand the question. What do you mean you have a 3p3 margin on the left and right? is this the distance from the edge of the page to the frame, or your paragraph indent? And if you have a 3p3 margin on both sides, one of those is "opposite the spine," so it's unclear what you want that you can't achieve in Indesign CS4.
