Hi

Iv’e nosed around trying to find how to add bleed to a Illustrator document at time of creation, all I seem to find is how to
do this at time of creating a pdf, which I don’t want, does any one have a snippet I could use please.

iv’e tried something like this, but it fails

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
	set _NewDoc to make new document with properties {height:(100), width:(100), bleed offset:{5, 5, 5, 5}}
end tell

cheers

There are NO properties for dealing with Bleed Offsets. Not all that’s in the GUI is available to script.

cheers for the heads up Mark67, I think ill go back and rewrite my project in Indesign, Illustrator seems limited.
