I think the problem is that the bleed box is bigger than desired. I think someone already mentioned that Preps will only use the amount of bleed that you specify in the template regardless of how much bleed is in the PDF. I would think XMF imposition would have a similar setting. The other option is to make the designer make the bleed exactly what it should be. They can do this by specifying the proper bleed size when creating the document in InDesign and then by specifying that the Export PDF use the document bleed size.

Image #1 shows how to specify the bleed when creating the document and image #2 shows how to make the PDF so it only gives you the amount of bleed used by the document bleed settings. This way even if they pull their bleed out 6 inches in InDesign the PDF would only show .125" of bleed.

Yeah, they're certainly getting all that wrong on Export. I'll have time to re-test the untouched PDF again in a new XMF test. If it doesn't chop it off I'll have to ask questions.

In Preps you can either set the bleed for all pages in the template, individually for each page in the template, or in the entire Preps job.

Seems it was a PICNIC problem. Can't replicate the 'spillover' in XMF.  Chopped off at Bleed, as desired. :embarrassed:  Please resume normal programming.    :laugh:
