Tips for Preparing Files for Printing
If your design contains a background or artwork that must run to the edge of the paper without any margin, you’ll need to extend the art past the edge of the page in InDesign. The artwork is printed with crop marks— also called trim marks—and the bindery will cut the edges of the page at the crop marks. Bleed is the term used for the area that extends beyond trim area, and it ensures that no white edges show up on the final trimmed page.
*NOTE: Please keep text at least 0.25″ from the edge of the document.
1.  On the File menu, click Page Setup.
2.  In the Page Setup dialog box, under Page, select the dimensions that you want.
Your selection represents the page size of the printer paper. If you need to create a bleed, be sure to change the paper size so that the publication will fit on the paper after it has been printed and trimmed. To create a custom page size, enter your changes in the Width and Height boxes, and make sure that you select a paper size that is larger than your finished publication page size.
3.  Position the object that you want to bleed so that it extends beyond the edges of the publication page.
Object larger Than Page
1. The object
2. The publication page
4.  On the File menu, click Print, and then click the Printer Details tab.
5.  Click Advanced Printer Setup, and then click the Page Settings tab.
6.  Under Printer’s marks, select the Crop marks check box.
7.  Under Bleeds, select the Allow bleeds and Bleed marks check boxes, and then click OK.
8.  Save the document as a PDF and it is ready to hand off.
