Enter the amount of bleed you require, and your page will be cropped to this size where necessary. Typically 5mm is enough, but your document may have much more. If your document already includes bleed or trim marks, it may have more bleed than necessary. Enter the actual page size of 100mm by 150mm into the relevant fields so that Impose online can crop (where required) and position the page correctly. In other words, if your document was originally 100mm wide by 150mm high, with 5mm bleed added to all four edges, the PDF you uploaded would be 110mm wide by 160mm high. You will be prompted to provide the actual trimmed page size of your document.

If your document already includes bleed or trim marks, select 'Yes'. A 20Mb file can take over 10 minutes on a standard 256kb/s connection. This may take some time, depending on the speed of your connection. Step 1-Upload your pdf fileĬlick the 'Choose File' button and navigate to the location of the pdf file you wish to impose on your local hard disk. In other words, if your page was 100mm wide by 150mm high, and you were providing 5mm of bleed on all four edges, you would actually provide a page that was 110mm wide by 160mm high, but making sure that there is no important page content in the bleed area. This is to allow for small inaccuracies in the printing/trimming process.

Bleed is an extra area around the page where the page content extends past the trim line usually around 5mm, but sometimes less.

If your document has images or items extending right to one of the edges of your page, you should provide bleed. Your original pdf file will not lose any quality when imposed, so please create your pdf with the quality setting you require for your final imposed file. However, if you don't, here is a detailed explanation of each step in the Impose online process.

If you have a clear understanding of print imposition, you can probably work your way through Impose online without assistance.
