Setting "inside" bleed within the page size

Hello,
I'm using InDesign CS3 for a book layout and I'm trying to set the inside bleed so that it is 0.25" within the page size (trim size) of 8.5". I've tried putting -0.25" but it only accepts positive numbers.
The reason I want the bleed within the trim size is so that the ink doesn't interfere with the adhesive when it's bound.
Thanks for any help.

Expanding on Bob's suggestion, you could put a white rectangle on a top layer and then turn off its visibility. Then you could work away without having to worry about fitting everything to the guide, and just turn on the layer visibility when you've finished to blot out anything that spills over.

  • Printing a booklet, my pdf includes the bleed within the page size

    I produce a 24 page document, and have just tried to used the print booklet command to create the printer spreads, rather than imposing manually, printing to a PDF.
    However the final pdf pages are set to A3, including the bleed marks, and this means that the final printed product ends up being smaller than A3 after cropping.
    When doing this manually, I had a PDF preset I was using.  I have found a way to get that preset into the Booklet setup, but the final pdf page size is still too small.

    Under page scaling in the print dialog select none and choose a bigger page size.  Don't set final pdf pages to A3 as this leaves no room for trims....

  • How do I set the Page size default in Adobe Reader using Window 8?

    I need to set the page size everytime I go to print from my Adobe Reader in my windows 8. Is there a way to set the page I want letter (8.5 by 11) as a default? So I do not have to do this everytime I print something?

    I can't help but wonder why Adobe doesn't respond to this - at this point there are 464 views of this item and still no answer. I have the same problem and it's a big irritation to have to set the duplex mode everytime I want to print!

  • Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

    Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

    All fields in InDesign can be entered in any measurement system. So, if you want to make an 8"x10" document and go to File>New Document and the window looks like this:
    …you can type either 8 in or 8" into the Width field like this:
    …and when you move to the next field, it will convert the eight inches into the equivalent number in the unit of measure that it is using at the moment, like this:
    … (203.2 milimeters is the same as 8 inches). You can also enter a different measurement unit into other fields once the file is created, such as the width or height of a frame, or the position of an object in the X and Y coordinates.
    If you would rather just work in inches instead of having to type the inches mark or abbreviation, go to InDesign>Preferences>General and select the Units & Increments tab. There you will see Ruler Units for Horizontal and Vertical at the top of the window. Set them to Inches and all of the fields will display in inches. If you do that to an open document, you will change the unit of measure for that document. If you do it while no documents are open, it will change the unit of measure for any new documents you create. To change the unit of measure for existing documents, you will have to open each and make the change.

  • Why can't I set the page size in centimeters?

    Am I missing something?
    In Preferences it allows me to use centimeters (I wish there were millimeters), but when I try to change the page size I can only use inches.

    You missed the fact that the print dialog aren't belonging to Pages but to the operating system.
    So, it's unaware of the unit setting done in the application.
    On my French system, Pages is set to use points as units for the rulers but the Print Dialog is using centimeters.
    As far as I know, you may force the system to use centimeters.
    With 10.4.11 we do that in the System Preference Pane entitled International. I forgot its new name.

  • How to set the page size and the margins programatically

    Hello,
      I am working with crystal report XI Release2 and asp.net.
    One of my report is having 4 graphs in a single report.In order to display all the graphs in one page i have set  the paper size as A3.(Via Crysta report ->File->Page set up)
    But the page size A3 is not provided by all printers.So problem comes when the application is diployed on a machine which does not support A3 Printer.All the graphs will not be shown on a single page.
    Also Each and Every time ,when the application is diployed on a machine,user has to open the crystal report and adjust the page size accordingly to get all the reports on a single page.
    This is a kind of usability issue also.
    Is it possible to set the page size and the margins programatically say for eg 11 X 17.so that with out doing anything all the 4 graphs will get displayed on a single page ?
    Please let me know if you require more information regarding this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    PageMargins customPageMargin = report.PrintOptions.PageMargins;
    report.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait;
    report.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.Paper10x14;
    customPageMargin.rightMargin = 1;
    customPageMargin.topMargin = 0;
    customPageMargin.bottomMargin = 0;
    report.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins(customPageMargin);
    Thanks for you help.

  • How to set the page size

    Hi,
    How to set the page size of a B tree node in berkeley db java edition?
    thanks.

    The two systems have different performance characteristics. If you are concerned with the performance characteristics, then the best way to tell is to benchmark them.
    By the way, both BDB and BDB JE are B-trees.

  • After you increase the page size with Ctrl/plus, is there a way to keep the new setting?

    ''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/845611]''
    My new laptop has great features but a smaller screen. Changing the resolution makes everything look awful. Using Ctrl/plus to increase the page size in Firefox solves the problem, but you lose the new setting when you go to a different page. Is there a way to keep the new setting until you reverse it with Ctrl/minus ?

    There are some add-ons that can be used to change the zoom level on all sites, for example:
    * NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint
    * Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level

  • I'm trying to print envelopes by using Pages merge.  It continues to read it as a 8.5X11 sheet even though I have set the page size to 6.5X4.75

    I've merged names and addresses to be printed in Pages.  The page size is set to 6.5 x 4.75 but the printer keeps trying to print as if it is an 8.5 x 11 sheet. Any ideas where I'm missing a setting?  I've been merging things for 25 years and I've never had this problem.

    Hi fruhulda!
    Thank you so much!  I called the printer company and finally got the problem solved.  This printer must print with the long side oriented as the pass through.  The envelope I was using had been oriented to have the short side pass through.  It doesn't really seem logic that the printer cannot print the sizes entered but when I changed the orientation in Page Set Up it worked. 
    Had I check this would have certainly helped.

  • How to reserve the page size when exporting to MS Excel 2010

    Hello. I have a report which exports to MS Excel 2010. I applied the page size as legal in Crystal Report and would like to use the same page size in Excel
    However, MS Excel print preview says the page size is letter.
    How could I keep the same page size in Excel as I applied in Crystal Report. We have a lot of business reports and would like to avoid applying page setting manually in Excel when users print them out each time.
    Thank you.

    Hi Christine
    I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
    Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
    Can you  please let me know the version of CR you are using?
    You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
    BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

  • How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?

    How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?
    I scanned a 50-page document with an HP 5610xi All-In-One using the software that comes with it: HP Scan Pro. Though the physical document has standard 8.5" x 11" pages, the PDF resulting from scanning has page size set to 35.42 × 48.67 inches (according to Preview's "Tools > Inspector". I want to resize the pages to 8.5" x 11". Shouldn't Preview be able to do that with "Tools > Adjust Size..."? When I try, the menu option is grey so I can't select it.
    I'm using Preview Version 4.2.

    Thanks for the insight; that explains why it's the wrong size. I selected 300dpi scanning (which is the default, actually), but HP Scan Pro evidently created a PDF with 72dpi indicated. I want it fixed because I want to distribute the file to other people and have them able to print or display it without problems.
    I still don't know why Preview won't let me change it, but your question about whether I wanted to print it did lead me to find a workaround: "File > Print" and "Save as PDF..." saved it with the correct page size.

  • Can I increase the page size in an existing PDF?

    We have a PDF of a CAD drawing from a consultant.  The problem is, the page size is letter, and we need it to be tabloid to accommodate a section of General Notes and a Cost Estimate table.  We would rather not go back to the consultant both from a cost standpoint and from a time standpoint.
    Is it possible to increase the page size within the PDF so that I have some blank space at top or bottom for the needed blocks?
    I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
    Thanks!

  • Adjusting the page size in numbers on the ipad

    I need to be able to adjust/set the page size for numbers documents on the ipad. Every time I export the numbers document from icloud as a pdf to a pc the spreadsheets are all over the place with page breaks in the wrong places. If i export as an excel I lose all formatting. I can't download as a numbers doc as the pc will not support it. Is there a way of setting and locking the document/page size with out going through the print option as i do not have an airprint printer and am not going to get one either!

    I don't see a setting for page size.  Everything else related to that (sans setting the page size) appears to be found here:
    Click the wrench
    Share & Print
    Print
    Select portrait/landscape, content size, page numbering, headers
    Done (don't actually print it)
    I wonder if you set the page size when you actually go to print it.  I don't have a printer to try it on. Otherwise it looks like 8.5x11 is all you get.

    Is there any way to make the page size of a PDF document smaller?  I'm at 30"x36" and want 8.5"x11"

    The quickest way is to print to a new PDF and use shrink to fit. Be sure you set the paper size in the printer properties. Normally this is not recommended, but it is a quick approach. You would loss any bookmarks and other markup with the print.
