In Indesign, exporting to a Press ready PDF, in order to allow the Photo's to include bleed, we have to make the PDF with bleed allowed?
Why is this? Should'nt we be able to make one, and retain that info.
Right now, we have to make it with Document Bleed selected, and then go in and crop to actual size within Acrobat.
If we don't do this, when we rip the PDF in Rampage, it oversizes and includes the crops and bleeds inside the document size.
Anyone else see this happening?
What are your exporting with bleed methods?

Should I cross-post to the Rampage groups as well?
Document setup should be set to trim sizes.In that same dialog box you can set the bleed amount to .125 inches. When exporting with "press quality" make sure that the bleed is set to 9pts symmetrically. You may also want to crop image data to frames. It is perfectly safe to include the trim marks and page information as part of the PDF. Even if you don't include the marks InDesign will still include the respective page boxes. It sounds more like that the wrong page boxes are being used for imposition.

How is the imposition stage handled?
