Forum How do I...?

How does the prince-bleed property work? ;)

Hi,
I've created a PDF which contains some footers and headers with solid background color. I thought that when I set prince-bleed on @page the footer and header background would bleed into the bleed area, but it does not. Is it a functionality or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks a lot.

This looks like an oversight on our part, we'll see if we can fix this for the next release of Prince. Thanks for letting us know! :)

That would be really great, guys. Do not forget to think about a footer (or header or whatever) having background set to e. g. blue, but having a div positioned in it with e. g. grey background - in that case there should be grey bleed ;).

This should be improved in the new Prince 7.0 beta, but there may still be some situations in which a background might not extend into the bleed area.

Thank's a lot. I'll try to test it when possible.
