Add Bleed and include text or vectors

Post by cwswitch »

I'm using the Pitstop action Add Bleed to give me a mirror of the top and bottom 70mm of my document reflected over the trim, then flipping the job horizontally so that the resulting 70mm sections are effectively rotated 180 degrees.

(There are 10 other steps to get to my end goal, so if this sounds mad, it would make sense given the full picture)

My issue is that text or vector in the 70mm region is lost.

Is there another way to achieve my goal but keep the text?


Converting to outlines has not worked. Flattening to an image has, but this is not good for file size or colour reproduction.

Fixed it in a real headache of a way using Quite Hot Imposing

The Add Bleed does not work with text so it probably would not work for you as it currently is.

this works.
testFile:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1g7- ... 3BiVzVkQkU
action:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1g7- ... EZvTWVDa3M

look 'Select object close to the page edge'.
Your action does not work whit outlines because the section 'close to the edge' is not definite
