How to correctly check for bleeds?

Post by RytisT »

Hi, I'm having problem with "Check if object is close to the page edge" action, what happens is if there's object beneath white background or invisible object, it will show up saying the object is close to the edge, example:

http://prntscr.com/qr6u2x - when in reality, there's a white object above it: http://prntscr.com/qr6u8c and it doesn't require any bleeds.
Any way around this? Thanks.

Have you tried running a cleanup action before the bleed check? Something like "remove irrelevant objects" or the standard Action List "Clean Up Content".

I'll get the team to take a look and see if we can improve it.

@bens - it may work sometimes, but definitely not all the time, since in my case (screenshot) the object is visible and needs to stay there, only part of the object is close to the edge, but it's covered by another white object. In theory PitStop is right, object is close to the edge, but in reality it's covered by a white object.

@abc - thank you. How I solved this, is just by adding a white object few milimeters smaller than trim box size, and using "check ink coverage" to see if there's any colors in that area, seems to work. Perhaps that's an option that "Check if object is close to the page edge" could have.
