Reply To: Why don't exported PDF bleed dimensions match what I specify?

David: ohhh… points, I didn’t even think of that. Thanks.

Kelly: I couldn’t figure it out either so I just uploaded to an image hosting website, and then directly linked to the image. The image appeared within the post like magic. My guess is any direct link (like https://i.imgur.com/Bh3CAqL.jpg ) will just appear within the post, wheres an indirect link (such as https://imgur.com/Bh3CAqL ) may not. Definitely the forum admins should include a button to upload images, or at least some text informing users that the image will appear in the post if you directly link to it.

What you’re saying about the crop marks makes sense… I should offset them a bit. So I guess I can just do .125″ bleed, and then add enough offset to keep the cropmarks away from the edges, which will also allow me to make my PDF size an even number (which maybe the printer doesn’t care about, but it drives me bonkers).
