More Options
Click “More Options” in the “New Document” dialog box to specify the dimensions of
the bleed and slug areas. To make the bleed or slug areas extend evenly on all sides, click
the “Make All Settings The Same” icon.
• Bleed: The Bleed area allows you to print objects that are arranged at the outer
edge of the defined page size. For a page of the required dimensions, if an object
is positioned at its edge, some white may appear at the edge of the printed area
due to slight misalignment during printing or trimming. For this reason, you
should position an object that is at the edge of the page of the required dimensions
a little beyond the edge, and trim after printing. Bleed area is shown by a red line
on the document. You can set bleed area settings from Bleed in the Print dialog
box.
• Slug: The slug area is discarded when the document is trimmed to its final page
size. The slug area holds printing information, customized color bar information,
or displays other instructions and descriptions for other information in the
document. Objects (including text frames) positioned in the slug area are printed
but will disappear when the document is trimmed to its final page size.
