Re: [xep-support] Page contents do not protrode onto bleed

Hi :)

I can understand the exact problem I think Mark has here and it's
something I am interested in knowing the answer for as I suspect it
will be very useful to me in the near future as well.

When printing and trimming it is usual to stretch the artwork past the
edge of the final canvas size so that when you trim you can guarantee
not to see the white substrate at the edge (given the tolerances on
many guillotines leave much to be desired). For this to work, XEP
must have the ability to overflow the edge of the final artwork with a
bleed of the same colour as the background or, more usefully, allow
the placement of anything you want outside the crop box of the pdf (so
you can place images, vector graphics etc. over the crop edge).
Generally we need about a 2 or 3mm bleed on each edge.
