    The title say it all. Can you include an Align to Bleed.

  • Edge commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is definitely a much-needed feature for me. It would save a ton of time on aligning our layouts.

    Strange that there is no option to align to bleed(cut-offs) in the alignment panel?

    Is it that the officials don't think it's useful?
    I personally need it. What about you guys?

    Its 2024...why can't we auto-align to bleed?

  • Nicholas Graham commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add this feature... I'm constantly needing to align to bleeds when I'm working on print layouts.

    Would be extremely helpful!

    Came here while searching for this feature as it sure would make my life a lot easier!

    For those curious about how to do this in the meantime; let's say you need to align a colored frame or photo to the bleed on a single page. This color/image will cover the entire left page in the spread.

    - make this object the width of the page + bleed
    - additionally make it the height of the page + bleed
    - now set the align tool to "Align to Page"
    - align the object to right edge & then to vertical center

    Alter this method depending on your particular case. For single page spreads with bleed, just make the object frame the height/width of the page + bleed and align page to vertical center/horizontal center accordingly.

    YES, Very needed! for example: align elements outside the crop marks for printing purposes.

    It's quite disappointing to see this simple feature hasn't yet been added considering the current build we are on. Adobe, need to step their game up.

    +1. for this feature.
