each edge of the page. It is important to note that the Custom Bleeds feature automatically
creates the bleed rectangle, but it does not automatically extend items into that area. You
must position items so that they extend beyond the layout page edge to create the bleed.
Before you output a layout to film, take a moment to preview the layout to make sure the
bleed will output as you expect. Choose File > Print > Summary. The graphic page icon
on the top-right side displays the bleed area for the first page of the layout, and indicates
whether any of the layout or bleed is outside the imageable area. Remember to add the
bleed area to the layout dimensions when comparing the layout size to the imageable area.
Using Custom Bleeds
You can use Custom Bleeds XTensions software to create bleeds when printing, saving a
page as an EPS file, exporting a layout as a PDF file, and exporting a layout in PPML format.
The procedure is similar for all of these output options, but some bleed options are only
available for certain output methods.
• 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
