Help Please printing a PDF file

[awemawson]

I have a large .pdf file (80 mByte) / 198 sides that is the Operator Manual for my (new to me) JCB 3CX.

It's first page is actually a spread of the front and back covers of the original manual, and the rest has alternate pages with the larger margin on differing edges to allow for double sided printing with a binding.

Although I can happily print it out single sided A4 and even bind it in a comb or spring binder I decided to 'outsource' it for double sided printing and binding using a 'Velo' binding (rigid plastic strip riveted through) - I'm being quoted very modest prices - about £12 posted back to me.

So I uploaded the file to Viking having first removed the first spread (back and front covers) and inserted a new first page with an image cut from the original page.

However it errors and complains that the 'bleed' is wrong and page sizes are wrong

So are there and .PDF experts on the forum who can dig me out of this particular hole?

PM me the file and where you want it sending and I’ll sort it for you.

At that size, PM me an email and I’ll send you a link to upload it

Or just email it to your local print shop.

They'll print it for less money than the ink will cost you.

You might already have solved this but one thing I have done for troublesome pdfs is to print them to a new pdf file using for example Cutepdf. At the time, that solved the issue I was having.

That won’t work for a commercial printer. The bleed is effectively how much it needs to overprint so when the page is cut there are no weird margins. The commercial boys print on a roll of A0 size and crop it all out of that. Can be a bit of a pain.

Tell the print shop you don’t mind a white border and they will prob run it out there and then.
