When exporting to PDF, I wish to eliminate entirely the bleed area. Is it possible to do so in inDesign?
1 Answer
Set your bleed settings to zero and make sure you have all printers marks turned off. The easiest way to do this is to choose the [High Quality Print] Preset in the PDF dialog box as a starting point. For most outputs that are not going to be commercially printed this preset should suffice anyway.

s for years and I am unaware of the fact that the bleed is included even if you ask the export not to. Seems counterintuitive, esp. on a 'smallest file size' setting.
