Hello Go for Joy and Apple community,

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to look at my document? I still can't get it to print without borders - whether in Word or PDF.

Thanks so much.

Nice one Go for Joy, sorted me out.

Thank you! Like somebody mentioned earlier, you did save about 5 minutes of my life! But, seriously, this has been bugging me for quite a while, and I have been getting around it by adjusting the borders on all sides, but never getting that 'professional booklet' feel..

A lot of people would have just kept this to themselves, but you didn't! Thanks a million for sharing!!!!

If found out that beyond these necessary settings, there still seems to be a bug in printing to PDF in Word for Mac. I work on a Mac Mountain Lion and have MsOffice 2011 installed.

When I print to PDF, it will trim my margins on all sides by about 5 mm. Hoewever, when I use the print menu to open a "PDF in Preview", it gets the margins right. The disadvantage is that the print menu will reproduce each page in a separate document.

Next I have to save each page to a pdf (I number the document names according to the page numbers) and then join them using PDFsam, a free utility you can get online if you look for it. This method will be cumbersome if you have over 5 pages to print in PDF.

This is the only way I managed to save my margins.

Hi Maszek,

Before you print using your preferred method, just "select all" (in the Edit menu). That will ensure you have one document and not many single pages.

I posted this little trick somewhere near the beginning of this discussion! 🙂

Excellent - this is exactly what I needed after two days of trying to fix it!! Thanks.

Legend. I have been scratching my head over this one....thanks, much appreciated.

Thank you so much! I must have done everything else under the sun except for what you suggested. It worked perfectly. Thank you again for taking the time to share this solution with everyone!

Excellent Joy - works for me! saved me a lot of frustration!

I LOVE YOU!

This made me weep for joy!

You Sir/Madame, deserve a hug 😀

Yea! Thank you very very much! This has been driving me crazy for a couple of weeks.
