options are not available. This is because these options create a bounding box
that includes any item 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.
