Illustrator save as PDF; adding extra bleed?

Hi,

I'm have a rather irritating issue with Illustrator CS (v11.0.0). I'm
scripting the composition of a document, and my final step is saving as a
PDF file.

I am using the following script line to save the PDF file:
(all one line)

--
tell application "Illustrator CS"
 save current document in file "/path/to/folder/test.pdf" as pdf with
options {class:PDF save options, bleed offset:{0,0,0,0}}
end tell
--

(Using bleed offset where {left, top, right, bottom} are bleed margins)

My issue is I'm getting bleed, and I don't want it. Illustrator isn't taking
my zeroes.

What I've found is actually this; I can NOT control the 'right' bleed. No
matter what I do, it won't take. If I substitute 100 for 0 for each of the
bleed specs, one at a time, I get different results, respectively. But when
the bleed offset reads {0,0,100,0}, I don't get a 100 point right bleed, I
get the same as using {0,0,0,0}, and the right bleed isn't 0, rather some
default (e.g.; 1pt) I haven't been able to reset, find or control...err.

If my Illustrator file is 2"x10", my resulting PDF file is 2.01"x10".

I've tried this on 3 machines, and had the same result.

Anyone care to try/verify this? I'm going nutty... To check the PDF size,
just open in Acrobat, and look at the dimensions.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jake
