02 32 Layout in Adobe InDesign When creating a new document in Adobe InDesign, you can set the ‘bleed area’. This is indicated by a red line outside the final format of the document (black line). All elements that should extend to the edge of the page should reach this red line. Please note that the 3 mm space outside the black lines is not part of the content layout and will be cropped later. Make sure that any text or elements that you do not want to lose are at least 5 mm away from the page edge. Once you have finished formatting, export the document as a PDF file with bleed and crop marks. Instructions for this process can be found on page 78 of this manual. Create a document in InDesign: 1. Open a new document with a size of 170 x 240 mm. 2. Check the ‘pages facing each other’ option. 3. Set the margins to 20 mm. 4. Set the bleed area to 3 mm. Make sure headers and footers remain at least 5 mm from the page edge (green line). Tip Keep the base text between 9 and 10 points. Print a few pages at 100% to get an idea of the final result. Adjust the font size if necessary, and take into account the dimensions of other text elements, such as headers, footers, captions, and text in tables.
