I have a beginners indesign question I'm hoping to get answered. Someone is requesting a document with these specs:
ACTUAL SIZE: 210mm Tall X 148mm Wide
BLEED SIZE: 216mm X 154mm
How is that accomplished?
210 mm x 148 mm with 6 mm bleed?
or
216 mm x 154 mm with 6 mm bleed (where the 6 mm bleed is added to the "actual size" of the document.)
At this point in my experience, this is confusing. Thanks!
You set the page to 148 x 210 with 3mm bleed on all four sides.

Hey Bob, thanks!
So why / how does 3mm on all four sides = 6mm bleed? Why isn't 3mm bleed?
Appreciate it.

3 mm on the left side plus 3 mm on the right side equals 6 mm total across. Same math top and bottom.

Though if you have facing pages, you have no bleed on the inner margins.

ok, that's makes things clearer. Appreciate the answer!

By the way the correct terminology is not Actual Size but Trimmed Page Size (TPS) and in your example it's A5.

OK... makes sense! Thanks!
