    It depends on the job. On most of the sort of work we receive, it'll take me all of a couple minutes to drop the PDF into InDy and add bleed there. Re-export from InDy and you're good to go.

    (For example: maybe delete the background in existing PDF and replace in InDy with bleed; maybe there's a photo bleeding off - you can delete the photo from the PDF, after having saved it somewhere else, then drop into InDesign and resize.)

    It is a versatile, sometimes round-about way to do things, perhaps not sophisticated enough for some people's tastes, but for simple jobs is quick and reliable.

    We have 2 items which are we fail in our preflight on PDFs: short bleed and missing fonts. If the client supplies a PDF with either we stop the process right there and consult them to replace their file with a correct file. If the PDF has cropped image boundaries you can't extend them without scaling images and a huge amount of hand work since there is no more image. Missing fonts are are always failed since in a PDF workflow you can't guarantee font replacement will be successful.
