Q: Pages : Printing A5 flyer on A4 paper
I've created an A5 flyer using pages and now want to print it.
Because I used images all the way to the edge of the flyer I want to print the flyer in the centre of a piece of A4 so I can then trim the excess paper away.
However, whenever I print, it automatically moves the page to the top left of the printed sheet, which means I lose some of the images to the non-printable area.
Also, it won't print a hairline (despite selecting the option!).
Thanks,
Simon

Do the obvious: Construct your design in the centre of an A4 sheet complete with crop marks at the corners so you know where to cut.
"Hairline" is not a dimension so don't use it. It depends on your printer's resolution. Specify 0.25pt rule and/or test for what is workable on your printer.
Also be careful to use 100% black if you want a solid line, probably your colour was an RGB or CMYK mix which comes out as a blurred or non-existent halftone pattern on something too narrow to reproduce it.
