HOW TO: put bleed into the middle of a spread?

[Klaus_Scharfenstein@adobeforums.com]

So, the best result I could get looks like this:



But that's not what I would want :-(. I'd want something like the bottom half of my screen shot of post #11 - with two facing pages plus boths their bleeds between them.

Thanks for all your help I think we've got it sorted now.

Hi Palvey,

I work in prepress at a printers, and I have never requested this from
a client. Pages only need bleed on edges that are to be trimmed. So
top bottom and outside edge. As someone else mentioned, you need bleed
on the inside edge of a spiral bound book, and this should be set up as
single pages when you start to design the document. PS we print up to
A2 - which is 4 pages up.

Hope this helps for next time.

THANK YOU!!! you saved me. this was very helpful!

Peter,

Try this on your facing-pages document:

Turn off *Allow Pages to Shuffle*

Now, drag the single page icons of the spreads a little left or right and they will come apart and show individually; yet be left and right facing pages.

It might be easier to do if you make the page icons larger.
