When you generate a PDF from Scribus, the bleed ends up outside the Trimbox defined in the PDF (the Trimbox will be set to the page size) and many PDF viewers ignore everything outside the Trimbox.
The normal recommendation is to "test" your PDF with Adobe Reader (but that is difficult if you do not have access to a Windows PC).

Check your printer's print options. This seems to be where the issue is. Also the prepress options for pdf export, no printer marks selected, the document bleeds option isnt selected, I have and 1/8 in bleed set by the printer. it seems to print correctly for me. Also check the margins setting in your print window, the Option button in the print window in okular should open another window with the first tab of Page, there margins settings are there. make sure they are set to the lowest amount for your printer.
Quote from: ehbowen on December 03, 2024, 03:31:20 PMPossibly I'm confused as to how Scribus handles bleeds. Is there documentation on that?the screenshot in post #5 shows that you generated your .pdf without the bleeds. ('pre-press' tab in the .pdf export window...)
Here's what I'm expecting when I set up a document with bleeds:
- Page Size = Final trimmed size (in this case, 5.25" x 8", or 10.5" x 8" for the full double page spread
- Bleed = Area outside the trimmed page which is to be printed with color, with the intent of trimming to give a "fully printed page" (marginless) feel. In this case, it would be .08".
- Margin = Area not to be printed, either for layout or (in this case) technical regions...my Xerox WorkCentre requires a minimum page margin of .1614" on all sides.
- Output page size = full size of the media to be printed on, in this case US Letter-sized bond paper (8.5" x 11").
Am I off with any of this?
Quote...I couldn't find an option to format it for output as a booklet, either within Scribus or in the printer settings itself.as i said before, i don't know okular. maybe it has no 'booklet' function.
