I made a book with a lot of page covering pictures. So I added a bleed. This PDF was printed by a professional printer.
I also would like a PDF for the use in a website, with no bleeds. I thought that exporting to PDF with the option "Clip to Page Margins" checked, would always give me a PDF clipped the page margins and without the slight encroachments. Thats how I remember it from working with 1.3.7. But it seems that I was wrong about that.
