Now we have them right from the New Document or the Document Setup dialog boxes. Apart from the fact that this blog is AWESOME, they are some outdated facts about Illustrator but relatively easy to spot if you compare it with your current CC version.KarolCholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16382683416612100330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113929.post-60228641816998949842011-02-20T09:15:51.887-05:002011-02-20T09:15:51.887-05:00Hi Gary, I don't quite understand what you mea...Hi Gary, I don't quite understand what you mean that we cannot save BleedBox setting in native .ai file. In AI CS4 New Document dialog box we can set the bleed setting for any new document. This setting is saved into the .ai file. However I don't know how to change this bleed setting in an existing document except when saving as PDF or printing.<br /><br />FYI I'm a novice and have not checked if this setting is available in other version of AI. I'm curious if this option can solve the problem you described in this article.Ridhuanhttp://www.ridhuan.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113929.post-64662215121439756892008-05-28T08:52:00.000-04:002008-05-28T08:52:00.000-04:00This Blog is really nice and helpful.

This worked correctly in CS. However, exporting to pdf from CS2 DOES retain the image of the eps that hangs over the crop area.<BR/><BR/>(hmmm, I cannot remember if I checked this again with the latest dot release of CS2. I will try again tonight)<BR/><BR/>The save to AI dialog should also (IMO) include the crop artwork to bounding area (found in the print dialog) to artboard, artwork bounding area, or crop area.<BR/><BR/>Also, as mentioned, include a setting to set the bleed box.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113929.post-1138815434726938092006-02-01T12:37:00.000-05:002006-02-01T12:37:00.000-05:00A while back, I contacted Phil and both a) alerted...A while back, I contacted Phil and both a) alerted him to my blog, and b) asked him to participate in an interview.

And the fact that the art is really cropped to the document size, is also a bug. <BR/>I do hope this will be fixed/change in next version.

So I'd be required to perform elaborate steps (and remember math values) to do it correctly. Did I mention I'm not a big fan of numbers?<BR/><BR/>Also, keep in mind that many people who need to add bleed aren't the designer. And so it's alot of extra work for them to do, if the designer didn't add the bleed correctly. As someone who worked in a newspaper environment, I am sure you can appreciate that as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01795570164435872662noreply@blogger.com
