MS Word printing to pdf without borders

Thanks so much for posting this, exactly what I needed. You saved me some sanity! 😉 Appreciate you helping the community.

You're a genius ! Thank you soooo much for your help <3

Not sure if anyone still cares about the topic BUT if you're printer has the feature

You can just choose your Paper size as BORDERLESS 8.5x11in > Borderless 8.5x11 in 🙂

Thank you man! so much!!!!

If Joy's method does not work right away, close file and reopen to save settings.

I was so happy when I found this post because this has been one of the most frustrating things I deal with on a daily basis! I was so excited to try this out, but unfortunately this didn't work for me even after closing and reopening the file. Are you supposed to still see the borders when viewing the PDF or should it show the PDF without borders? Any advice is appreciated! I'm currently running Word 2010 on Mavericks 10.9.5 OS X.

Sometimes I have to try anything else to reset settings. Like shift to landscape, then back to portrait. Also, must go back to Page Setup and reset page size in Manage Page Sizes. I dread this and sometimes it takes a long time, but eventually there are no borders at all.

Thanks all - some great comments that greatly assist.

The OP was able to direct me to a plausible solution but I didn't have any luck in being able to select the new Custom Margin Size that I had created (was greyed out). This was after quitting and restarting Word. I wasn't able to resolve this issue as intended.

The printer I had selected did not have the option to print PDF Borderless, so clearly the OP had a like for like issue as mine. As the approach didn't work I was able to select an older printer driver that I still had installed that could print PDF. Doing so revealed the PDF Borderless option and thereby resolved the print to PDF border issue.

This is the very helpful answer of this thread! Select all is the key.

I'm an instructor of InDesign and it's so frustrating when I have to create Word document in my company where no one but me has InDesign.

Thanks again

Thank you so much. This has really helped me.

Thank you so much, you just saved my day!!

Thanks Go For Joy

I had the same issue on Yosemity 10.10.4 & Word 2011 14.5.3 and your suggestion put me on the right track. This has been frustrating me for hours.

Thank you! this works great! I've stopped hitting my head against the wall.

Thank you so much!

You did such a great job of simply and clearly providing us with instructions.

You helped me a TON today with something I needed to create for work. And it looks like you helped a lot of other people too!

Thanks again for sharing what you learned!

Thank you !!
