Q: MS Word printing to pdf without borders

Thank you so much for sharing this tip!

You're a lifesaver!

take care!

You, Sir, are a legend.

Thank you!

My life just changed. Thank you for the help.

You’re my hero!

Thanks for taking the time to post this!!

Thanks so much!

I've had a Mac for years and never had problems printing to PDFs without borders, the whole screen would print, and to my knowledge had never changed any settings to allow me to do so.  I've just migrated to a new Mac and the first time I went to print an old doc from Word to a PDF, found that it inserted borders and cropped some of my text.  Thankfully you're resolution works a treat, so thanks heaps!

Any ideas why I never had to do anything on my old Mac?

LEGEND!

Thank you so much for posting this!

I created the setting but can't select it! Any thoughts?

thank you so very much! i've been up all night working to meet a deadline and thought i had one final, easy step: print to pdf with the lovely background color i'd chosen extending to all edges. one frustrating hour later, and i found your post. again, i thank you.

Thank you so much Go for Joy, I was struggling with this for hours thinking that there must be a way to do it.  You figured it out and saved me pulling more hair out.  Thanks for sharing mate

Thanks for the trick!

I did it and was working fine until this morning when I printed a PDF with my custom created paper size and the **** borders are back!!!!

I don't know what happened I did not change anything, the **** word just refuses to print as I told it...

Does anybody have had this problem too?

Thanks again.

Nvm, it worked again just by reopening the document... strange.

Thank you

Thank you, this is exactly what I've been looking for!

I have been doing what Go For Joy recommended and it has worked just fine  --- until today!  I have set the page attributes as 11 x 5.5 in and 0 margins all around (in fact, I have had these settings all along).  It looks perfect in the little thumbnail preview, but when I save it to PDF, the page size is lost and it reverts back to 8.5 x 11 with white borders all around. Aaahhhhhh!!!!  Anyone know what's wrong? I am using Mountain Lion 10.8.5
