the artwork is 3.625 x 2.125 so if it bleeds there is some margin.
I went to the printer yesterday. Turned out he needed AI, though he had CS3 and I had CS4. Fortunately, I brought my laptop with me so I just resaved.

I think the problem was logging on through the North American portal. Coincidentally (or not?), the serial number came through shortly after Bobster posted that I could get a refund.

As for the foreign IP address part, I bought it logged in through my account, which reflects prior purchases of Premiere Pro (years ago with regular updates), Photoshop (years ago with regular updates) and Acrobat (last June). Clearly, I'm a long-term Adobe customer AND Adobe knows my email address, as I usually purchase for download.
