- (Page Size is actual size of single page in your booklet.)
- Layout Grid: column grid, used to assist in aligning our content on the page.
- Bleed > compensates for any inaccuracies in trimming. (Full Bleed - Image/content that fits the full page) Standard bleed amount is 3mm. Gives you red margin, extend image to that. Prints crop marks, shows wear to position metal ruler in order to trim.
- Both bleed + slug define area that sits outside the page, that will print. Slug is used for registration/crop marks.
- Total number of pages must be a multiple of 4. (e.g 12 page booklet would be printed on 3 sheets of paper, which would then be folded and bound).
- Facing Page check box: All about making this kind of publication. If you tick facing pages, shows on screen exactly the format that you will have. Readers spread.
- One thing you should consider is how you are going to print/produce your book. Page size can have a consequence on how/where you are going to print it > remember if using a bleed, you have to print bigger than desired page size.
