extending off the page. This could result in a different bounding box for every page
in a layout, which could lead to inaccurate output.

Using Clip at Bleed Edge
When creating a symmetric or asymmetric bleed, you can use the Clip at Bleed Edge
check box to define whether QuarkXPress uses the bleed value to clip items:
• If Clip at Bleed Edge is checked, QuarkXPress prints all layout page items and
pasteboard items that are at least partially within the bleed rectangle, and QuarkXPress
uses the bleed values to clip items.
• If Clip at Bleed Edge is unchecked, QuarkXPress prints all layout page items and
pasteboard items that are at least partially within the bleed rectangle, and does not
clip such items unless they extend beyond the limits of the printing device's imageable
area. Pasteboard items that are not within the bleed rectangle do not print.
If you store items on the pasteboard, make sure they are placed outside the bleed
rectangle when using a symmetric or asymmetric bleed. If they are within the bleed
rectangle, pasteboard items may print on final output.
