How do I create a pdf with bleed in Procreate?

Procreate is a popular digital illustration app that allows you to create beautiful artwork and designs on your iPad. If you want to create a PDF with bleed in Procreate, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new document in Procreate. In the "Create New Canvas" dialog box, set the dimensions of your document with the required bleed, usually 0.125 inches (3mm) on all sides.

  2. Create your design with the bleed area in mind. Make sure that any elements that extend to the edge of the page, such as images or backgrounds, extend beyond the trim edge into the bleed area.

  3. Once your design is complete, go to the wrench icon in the top left corner of the screen and select "Share."

  4. Select "PDF" as the file type and choose the "A4" or "US Letter" size. If you are using StationeryHQ or PrintHQ to print your invitations or personalized books make sure you match the art size on the product page.

  5. Under "Options," select "Include Bleed" and enter the same value as in your document setup.

  6. Tap "Share" to generate the PDF with bleed.

  7. Review your PDF file to ensure that the bleed is included and that there are no errors or issues before sending it to the printer.
