Reply To: Preparing PDFs with spine-spanning images

Thanks everyone for your help. We're going to follow the printer's instructions (of course) about the bleed, though it seems a little odd to me to have no inside bleed at all. But following David's and Tim's suggestions, we're going to duplicate the images at the spine just a little. And thanks James for the printer's point of view – much appreciated. I didn't realise perfect-bound books didn't have creep: I'd understood that the pages were folded in the same way (we certainly try and submit books to a 16- or 32-page working) and then trimmed off to create the binding.

Tim: Bound proof? Oh my sides!
