    Yes! The current setup is plainly idiotic, and this is a HUGE problem, affecting unlimited amounts of exports. And it's been going on since forever, but it would be such an easy fix.

    The printer's marks offset should ALWAYS be calculated in relation to the specified bleed (instead of the page edge), so that regardless of what (positive) offset value is entered, the printer's marks never ruin the bleed. When entering 3mm bleed, and 3 mm printer's marks offset, this should always place printer's marks 6 mm from the page edge.

    I don't know of any actual scenarios where having printer's marks inside the bleed would be advantageous, but for any such needs, Adobe could just allow negative offset values. So entering 3 mm bleed and –3 mm printer's marks offset, would place the printer's marks at the page edge, for anyone that is looking to ruin the bleed.
