Issue
When you export an InDesign document with bleed settings as a spread to PDF, the bleed appears incorrectly in the PDF.
For example, the PDF does not show the outside bleed of a spread, or the last page has a bleed incorrectly added.
Reason
The Use Document Bleed And Slug Settings option in the InDesign PDF Export settings is unreliable when you export as Reader Spreads.
Solution
Solution 1: Specify the Bleed and Slug settings manually
-
-
In the Bleeds And Slug section, deselect Use Document Bleed And Slug Settings.
-
Enter values for Bleed and Slug.
-
Specify other export settings as desired.
-
Click Export.
Solution 2: Export to PDF with single pages
-
In the PDF Export dialog box, go to General.
-
In the Pages section, deselect Spreads.
-
Finish the other export settings as desired.
-
Click Export.
