• Print: The Bleed Type drop-down menu is in the Bleeds pane of the Print dialog box.
• EPS: The Bleed Type drop-down menu is in the Save Page as EPS dialog box. When you
save a page as an EPS file, the Page Items and Clip at Bleed Edge 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.
• PDF: The Bleed Type drop-down menu is in the Export as PDF dialog box.
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.
DejaVu XTensions software
DejaVu XTensions software adds a list of recently opened projects to the File menu, either
at the bottom or as a hierarchical menu from the File > Open submenu. This list enables
you to access projects with increased speed and ease. You can also use DejaVu to designate
default folders for retrieving text and pictures, and for opening and saving projects.
The File List feature adds a list of recently opened projects to the File menu, either at the
bottom or as a hierarchical menu from the File > Open submenu. You can choose to
display from three to nine recently edited and saved projects. To change File List settings,
use the controls in the File List pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit
menu).
Use the Default Path feature to designate default folders for the following File menu
commands: Open, Import, Save, and Save as.
The Default Path feature does not work until you specify default paths. To do so, display
the Default Path pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu). Once
you have specified a default path for a File menu command, the application uses that path
whenever you execute that command.
