I use a variation on this method. I bring the layout (usually a PDF) into Illustrator. Set-Up my bleeds as needed (see above) and then use the Pathfinder tool to knockout the center areas of the four boxes to decrease teh file size and prevent and additional issues from happening.

So what I end up with is the original document centered, with four rectangles butted up the the edges. Again this depends on the Document at hand.
