Extend_To_Bleed

Overview

Use this rule to extend a frame to the document bleed boundary on any edge that sits at or near the page edge. Apply it to background or full-page image frames to avoid manually adjusting them when the template is used on different page sizes.

How It Works

Checks each of the four frame edges against the current page boundary. If an edge is within the slack distance (gParam2, in mm) of a page edge, the rule extends it to include the bleed margin.

The slack value prevents frames that are close but not touching the page edge from being extended unintentionally.

The "over spine" parameter (gParam1) controls whether the inner edge (spine side) is also extended. Set to False to stop at the spine on facing pages.

After resizing the frame, the rule repositions the image inside the frame to keep the image visually in place.
