Hi, Urbis,
It's a bit hard to tell what's happening, since you don't show the TrimBox lines on the various versions of the PDF.

Maybe something to point you in the right direction:
Check the TrimBox of the original PDF (example, use Geometry plugin). The pagespread splitting feature relies on an accurate TrimBox on the original file in order to determine the correct position of the resulting split pages.

It kind of looks like the result you get with the 0.5" centerfold bleed is working correctly.
Are you trying to center the page on the imposition positions, or just letting them snap into place as normal? If you don't need the Center page feature, you might get better results by not using it.

Good luck!
James

Here's a link to pdf

geometry for a plugin, we do not have a license

Hi, there, Urbis,

Firstly, I don't think the geometry editor plugin is licensed -- if you have Prinergy, it should install as part of the Workshop install.

The file you post show that it is indeed a problem with the file -- the TrimBox appears to be at the edge of the untrimmed paper (i.e. at the MediaBox) -- the TrimBox doesn't align to the crop marks as one would expect it to.

If you fix the TrimBox on the incoming file, the spread splitting feature will work as expected.

Cheers,
James

Callas pdfToolbox 4.3 plug-in (and included standalone version) can bust up the reader spreads into a two page PDF. One side per page. Very easy to do...
