Adding a bleed margin when saving Word 2016 as a pdf

Question

Hi...I want to add a 3mm bleed margin (and crop marks) to a word document when I convert it to a pdf. Short of adding 6mm to my page sizes I can't see how else to do it. Any suggestions. Cheers.

Answer 2

Hi. Thanks for the reply.

Re your first point - I want to know how to add bleed margins....I am not already doing it.

Re your second point - I don't get the option to make changes, such as adding crop marks or bleed margins when "printing" or exporting to a pdf. Just the usual printing set-up options, like which pages etc.

I've been through the advanced word options but there's nothing in the printing section which allows for these changes to be made.

Is there any way to do it?

Cheers
