PP Connect - Ouput - Cut & Stack Imposition - Bleed margin

Good Day,

I am designing a template for a print context that will be 4-up. The template is 5.5 inches in height and 11 inches wide. This will be printed as duplex jo. The job will print on a tabloid (11 x17 inches) landscape paper. I am examining in Print – Advanced – Cut and Stack Imposition – Bleed margins. In the case of the bleed margins, I want to add 0.25 inch. I want to understand the impact of using the bleed margins in the output options of PP Connect:

From the infoirmation form the web, when I use bleed margins, at design time I should increase the master pages size 0.25 inch on all sides, increase any full color background on the master and also use a bigger paper then tabloid.

So in PP Connect, if I use the bleed margin option and adjusted to 0.25 inch, will it add 0.25 inch automatically on the 4 sides of each master or will shrink of 0.25 inch on all the side of the master?

I try to use PDF output but I do not the impact when I am using the bleed margins

The template is very simple, I just use as example to understand the output options.

Thank you

Frank,

Connect adds the bleed margins as free space around the original page. Note however that the size is affect by resizing if the “scale to fit” has been checked.
