The first is missing bleed: if your background stops exactly on the trim line, a white edge often remains after cutting. The second is the wrong colour space; images in RGB are converted to CMYK for printing, which makes bright colours duller than they looked on screen. The third is low resolution: what looks sharp on a monitor is often grainy at 300 dpi on paper. And the fourth is an incorrect spine width, which leaves your title sitting off-centre on the spine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So always check your PDF at actual size before uploading, and zoom in on the trim edges. Adobe explains how to include bleed and crop marks in its <a href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/indesign\/using\/exporting-publishing-pdf.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guide to PDF export<\/a>.
