Printing PDF file

[Guest]

I need to print a publisher page that I have saved to Adobe distiller.
As some of you know when you print the PDF it doesn't print to the
edge, I am pretty sure that this has been talked about before but I
can't remember the settings I need to use.

Appreciate any help!

Thanks!

Actually what I mean is when I print the publisher doc the page prints
just fine, but when I print to adobe distiller it has a much bigger
border around the page..

Yes I have tried that as well.

Thanks!

Unless your printer support BLEED printing, you cannot print to the edge of
the page.

The majority of printers have between 5mm and 16mm margins.

There is a default setting in Acrobat's Print dialog that tells Acrobat to
reduce the size of the page so it will fit on the paper size selected.

Now....pay attention...it gets confusing here<G>)

The page you opened in Acrobat _already_ has a margin around the edge. But
Acrobat doesn't know this. As far as it knows, every square inch of that
page contains valuable information....so...by default it reduces the size of
that page _and_ its built in margin to fit inside the margin of the new page
it is printing. And since most printers require a dead zone around the edge
of the paper when they print, this deadzone/margin is added to the margin
that is already on the PDF page and so...the margin looks bigger and the
print looks smaller.

How to overcome this? Easy. Uncheck the box that says "reduce page size to
fit" (the wording might be a little different in different versions of
Acrobat and/or Reader).

Then your printed margin will be determined by the printer driver not by
Acrobat.
