[scribus] bleed with cut-off

[Arthur]

Thanks Greg & Owen, it works now. When saving as PDF something like 'cut to
printer margins' (I use the Dutch version) was selected. Unselecting it and
following your steps gave the result I need.

It should work. This is a demonstration bookmark 150 pts wide (A4 high)

1. draw your image frame bigger than the page. See

2. Save as PDF with crop marks like in

3. The resulting pdf should be the whole image with the crop marks at
the page size (150 pts wide and A4 in height). See

You wouldn't do it this way, but hopefully you get the idea
