Acrobat X - Print to Edge without Margin

Using Acrobat X Standard and Microsoft PowerPoint, I'm trying to print a pdf where there isn't any margin (also for Word docs).  I've tried "Scale to Fit Paper" but that leaves a slight margin on the top and bottom.  I'm basically trying to print so that it looks exactly like the pdf I've created so that when someone opens on their screen, it will not show any margins, just the content and background i've created.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Thank you Erica, but doesn't entirely solve my problem.  If I have a 50 page document I have to crop top and bottom, so 100 crops, not cool especially when i am frequently updating the document.
I had printed to the edges in a previous version, so not sure why i can't do now.
To futher clarify, I have a powerpoint document i want to print to pdf.  when i print normally, there are significant white spaces between the edge and the content.  If I print "fit to page", i still have a slight margin.
Here is the PP.  No margin (just background).
Here is PDF.

    How do I select to print a document without margins?

    fieldhockey,
    The printer driver is the software that drives the printer.
    You can File>Print Setup, then select the printer (driver) by its name in the dropdown list. Note that there may be different drivers for one and the same printer (such as PostScript and non PostScript, borderless and non borderless).
    Choosing a borderless printer (driver) the printable area should be identical to the Artboard (with no dotted line inside to show the boundary between printable area and paper edge).

    I am having the same issue.
    I create a PDF in LiveCycle Designer ES2 as an A4 document with set margins.
    Then I print it either from LC Designer "Preview PDF" or from Reader x and it rescales my PDF with extra margin space all around. This can become an issue for me as the printed versions need a set minimum quiet zone around the barcodes to allow for scanning.
    The documents I am making are for use in browser based electronic medical record system across two hospitals, so individual PC solutions (cropping etc) will not work in this environment.
    I am also creating PDFs on a custom page (eg all areas scaled up by 10% including margins), but the addition of the margin by Reader means it throws out the calculations I have accounted regarding the barcode quiet zones when the forms scales back using "print to fit".
    It also scales objects that I have calculated to scale back from, lets say A4 @ 110% back to A4 @ 100%. EG a 11cm square should sclae back to the intended printed 10cm square to allow the placement of a sticker. It scales smaller due to Reader placing extra margin space and resizing based on that margin space.
    Sorry to ride on this thread, but it looks like the cause of the problem is the same.

  • Printing individual slides without border problems

    Hello,
    I'm trying to print out my slides that I have created in Keynote 9 so each slide will print to A4 width x height constraints(842x595 pixels). I wish to print the slides WITHOUT a border because the slide background has a colour right to the edge of the slide. When I go the print dialogue box, I uncheck ALL options so the preview contains no borders, margins, the slide will print to the edge of the page... great! But.... oh no, wait...... it's not that easy... when I print my fabulous design a border/margin of about 0.5cm all around the sides appear! It's even worse for my client who sees different margins when they print it on their printer. Yes, paper in printer is properly aligned.
    Thoughts on why my document has margins appended to all sides when I print is MOST welcome, and how I can stop this will be even MORE welcome.
    Cheers

    File > Page-Setup > Layout > A4 borderless (admitedly, not all printers will facilitate borderless but at least the template will facilitate it if the option is detected. (thanks Jerry)

  • Tutorial: Print index cards without removing paper from tray for Officejet Pro 8000.

    The HP Officejet Pro 8000 and Officejet Pro 8000 wireless do not have a slot for inserting index cards and envelopes.
    If you are wanting to print index cards without removing the paper from the tray, follow these steps.
    The steps below are for 3 x 5 index cards.
    1.) Open Microsoft Word
    2.) Go to the Insert tab and insert a rectangle shape
    3.) Draw a rectangle of any size
    4.) Right click on the rectangle and select "Format Autoshape..."
    5.) Under the Size tab, enter 5" for the height and 3" for the width (make sure "Absolute" is selected)
    6.) Under the Layout tab, select "Center" for the horizontal alignment
    7.) Click OK
    8.) Use the keyboard up arrow key to move the rectangle to the top of the page.  Make sure the top edge of the rectangle touches the top edge of the document.
    9.) Print this document on plain 8.5" x 11" paper
    10.) When you want to print an index card, place this 8.5x11 document in the paper tray printed side face up.  Then place an index card over the rectangle and align with the border of the rectangle.  After you print the index card, remove the 8.5x11 paper for the next time you need to print an index card.
    Note 1: This are USA instructions.  If you live in the UK or other countries you may have different paper size standards.

    I can't tell you how much I HATE this printer.  I will never buy an HP product again.  BROTHERS printers are simply and easy to use.

  • Acrobat PDF Printer STILL freezes when pasting filename into Save dialog

    Ref: Acrobat Printer Freezes on Save when CTL+V is used
    No change in Acrobat X.  Printing system still freezes up entirely when pasting a filename into the Save dialog, when printing to Adobe PDF printer.  Most often from Firefix (all versions through 28.0) but from other programs as well (also happens from MS Outlook 2010 32 bit).
    Any chance of an update from Adobe?
    Acrobat Pro X on Win 7 64 bit.  Multiple systems exhibit same behavior.
    Same issue occurs in Acrobat XI Standard.
    Workaround is possible by manually typing in filename, or renaming, but clearly this should not be happening.  If you forget, it requires a lot of steps (or a reboot) to try again.

    If you copy text directly from FireFox (or Word, or pretty much any program, other than Notepad), and try to paste into the Save Dialog to save your PDF, guaranteed crash.
    HOWEVER, if you paste the text into Notepad first, and then copy it again, you can then paste into the Save dialog no problem.  This is why the "test" that the Adobe rep did to recreate the problem was pointless: He managed to re-create the one workaround method that DOES work, instead of actually trying to do things the way that were causing the issue to show up.
    The problem appears to be related to any sort of "rich" text.  Windows ignores the "rich" information and only keeps the text if you paste into a filename in the system.  So Windows handles it just fine, it's Adobe's save dialog that can't handle it.  Copied text from Firefox is usually pretty clean (IE is worse), but there must be some formatting remnants in there that are giving Adobe fits (instead of properly ignoring them).  It may have something to do with 64-bit Windows and 32-bit Firefox and 64-bit Acrobat all coming together?  Copying and pasting between 64-bit and 32-bit programs usually has no issues, but in this case, it does (although the 64/32 bit relation is pure speculation on my end).
    But by "washing" your text through Notepad first, it completely strips it down to truly pure plain text, which can then be pasted into Adobe's Save dialog without a crash.  This adds an extra step, and should be entirely unnecessary, but it does work.  At least until Adobe fixes their program.

  • How do I print a pdf without the standard crop marks that appear when I have created it in Illustrator originally?

    Hi
    I am so frustrated as I cannot work out why my pdf files that I have created in Illustrator, print out on my printer with crop marks as well as scaling the image to fit them in on the paper. I just want to be able to print it out without the crop marks at the correct and original size it was designed in.
    Help Please.

    The crop marks are part of the design, no reason why Acrobat wouldn't print them. You could try cropping them out in Acrobat.

  • Acrobat 9 prints half landscape page from windows 7 home

    Acrobat 9 reader prints to 1/2 page in landscape mode. The only way I could get it to print correctly in portrait mode, full page was to choose advanced print option and select "Print as Image". I have tried every combination of print dialog settings, updated my printer driver, updated acrobat, and nothing else worked. Every other application works fine except acrobat 9. How can I get acrobat to print a full portrait page without selecting print as image?

    I also have this problem, and I am thankful you guys wrote to "print as image".  I believe it is a glitch between Xerox printers and Adobe Reader/Adobe Reader X.  I was hooked up to Xerox Phaser 8560DN-279 and all .pdfs were printing in half page, booklet form.  I uninstalled and reinstalled my printer driver along with uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader.  Tried re-printing and it still printed in booklet form.  I then attached my computer to an HP printer, and it printed fine, full 8.5x11.  So I thought it was the printer connection.  I then attached a 3rd printer to my computer, Xerox Phaser 8560MFP, and once again all .pdfs were printed in booklet form.  So it seems to be to be a problem with adobe reader and xerox printers.

  • Acrobat 9 printing problem

    Here's the scenario:
    Created a 1-age document in InDesign CS4, text with one jpeg. Created PDF. Tried to print from Acrobat 9.1.0 (Mac 10.5.6) but get error "Could not Print Document" then "No Pages were Selected."
    Other jobs, created in InDesign CS4 (same day as previous job created). Saved to PDF using same settings, etc. Opened in Acrobat and printed fine.
    PRoblem job would print fine from InDesign, and would print fine from Acrobat if Advanced Print option was set to "Print as Image". What could be going on with the Acrobat in the first job? Image in the document was a clean JPG (I also tried it with an EPS image with and without clipping paths). Same error every time.

    All the text in the problem style is used elsewhere in the document on pages that will print fine on their own. In fact, I, myself, have no problems printing the PDF and no errors happened while making the PDF. A large amount (although not all people) had difficulty printing when they received an error simply saying the document could not be printed. Going page by page revealed the element that was causing the problem. Once the nested style was removed, the file worked fine.

  • Firefox 28 hangs when I try to print to Acrobat PDF printer

    Hello all!
    I have observed a problem when I try to print a webpage in Firefox v28 using the Acrobat PDF Printer (Acrobat Pro 9.5.5) installed in a Virtual Machine (VMware View 5.2) with Windows 7 64 bits. The printing dialog hangs (no response) after the "Save as" pdf dialog. Then I have to force Firefox to close, and afterward a Acrobat PDF conversion dialogs appears with the progress bar stopped at the middle. I also have to close this afterwards.
    The others programs (Office, IE, Notepad...) are able to print through the PDF printer without problems. The problem appeared after the automatic update to Firefox v28, since when I downgrade to Firefox v26 the problem disappears.
    I checked a similar configuration in a physical computer (W7 64 bits, Acrobat Pro 9.5.5, Firefox v28), and everything runs good, so I think it is a change that happened in Firefox v28 that has some problem with the VM configuration. I also have tried to change the Firefox profile, reset Firefox and reset the printing settings and reinstall Acrobat. No luck.
    I would like to know if somebody know some change in Firefox v28 related with the printing or related to some service or update that can have some problem in the virtual machine.
    Any help is welcome!
    Thanks!

    When you updated, did you reset the printer settings in '''about:config''' under '''print.print_printer'''?

  • Acrobat 10 prints square characters instead of actual characters on paper copies

    Hello,
    We use Acrobat 10 standard in a Windows 7 64-bit enterprise environment.  The printers involved are Xerox copiers using the latest PostScript 3 drivers.
    We are currently having an issue where we print a document and on the paper copy, some of the characters are replaced with a square character.  The problem occurs when printing a PDF with Acrobat 10.  The problem does not occur when printing with Acrobat 9 but we did a company wide upgrade to 10 so 9 is no longer available.
    I read elsewhere that one of the solutions was to use Pre-flight to check for issues prior to printing.  However, the standard version of Acrobat does not have that feature.  I also used the print as an image option, which works, however the quality is severely degraded, even at 600 dpi.  I have also tried printing to the Xerox copiers with the PCL drivers and that prints ok but the margins and character sizes are distorted so we need to use PostScipt.
    While this problem applies to many of our documents, the most commons ones that have the issue are PDFs that have been edited to include additional pages from another PDF so they are combined into one larger PDF.
    The current workaround I have is to save the PDF file as a PS file, then double-click the PS file to have the distiller regenerate the PDF.  Afterwards it prints just fine.  However, since we have thousands of PDF documents with this potential problem, it is quite counter-productive to have to do this workaround to each document.
    Per Adobe support, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat 10, I have also tried printing with Adobe Reader 11 and same problem occurs.  However, it will print fine with Adobe Reader 9.   Updating to the latest version of Acrobat 10 (10.1.5) has had no improvement. 
    I have included a sample below of what it looks like on paper.  Is there a setting in Acrobat 10 standard that I could possibly try that may work for us?

    I'm a Windows user, so I may not have this exactly right, but printing to PDF from Print Booklet on Mac is a two-step process -- first you printto Postscript file using the Acrobat 9 ppd, then you distill the file. I think you'll find more details at InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Acrobat’s Adobe PDF Printer Replaced in Snow Leopard

  • How to print a pdf without user interaction (With C#)

    My boss assigned me a task that to get the ImagePreview of 1st page of PDF.
    My thought is to print the 1st page of PDF to file(virtual print to file), and get the image source, but there comes the problem:
    How can print a pdf without user interaction(With C#),question are these:
    1. I can use the ShellExcute but cannot assign the destination of output file.
    2. User interface is unwanted, I don't want show anyone the Acrobat Reader interface who click the file just want to get a preview.
    3. No place to put those parameters in.
    This problem confused me a lot of days, I wish someone can give some hints.
    Thank you very much!
    (Maybe you will tell me to use Acrobat SDK, please don't, I'm afraid we cannot afford that)

    >I have not read the document yet
    This is the first step. There are many documents, but start with the
    introductory/getting started material.
    > with a index.pdx
    A PDX is a search database to allow you to do fast searching in
    Acrobat.
    >
    >About the relationship between Adobe Reader and Acrobat, as far as I know is that, the previous one is just the reading tool for PDF document, instead, Acrobat can modify and resave the PDF doc. Is it right?
    Effectively, yes. But the Acrobat SDK is mainly for working with
    Acrobat. It's very important to keep this clear, since you have said
    you only have the free Reader, so 95% of what is in the SDK cannot
    work for you.
    >
    >Simply my questions,
    >1. I don't know which dll to refer in the .Net project to print with. Is the ActiveX folder in product folder?
    Simply, there is no point asking these questions, yet, because you
    have not started on the documentation.
    But let's continue in the SDK forum, where I have posed what seems to
    be a very important question about why print to file at all.

  • Acrobat X printer issue

    While attempting to scan a document, I receive an error alert telling me that that is an "error interacting the the scanner: selected scanner not found"  The HP Officejet Pro 8500 is present and functioning on the PC.  Have uninstalled/installed the printer several times without success.  Printing connection error occured unexpectly and no changes to printer made prior to error alert.

    This is a scanner issue, not a printer issue that is usually covered by Windows (at least I am assuming some version of Win.) I have no idea of your Acrobat version, but the problem may be that there is no TWAIN driver installed to interface to the scanner. Can you see the scanner from a graphics package in the scanner mode? If not, it is a driver issue.

  • How do i print a photo without borders?

    I am using 4x6 paper and want to print a photo edge to edge without white borders. Is this possible?

    Hi pagin8r,
    You will find the option to print borderless in the Advanced tab of the printer preferences.
    To print a photo on photo paper:
    1. Make sure the output tray is open.
    2. Remove all paper from the input tray, and then load the photo paper with side to be
    printed on facing up.
    NOTE: If the photo paper you are using has perforated tabs, load photo paper
    so that tabs are on top.
    3. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
    4. Make sure the product is the selected printer.
    5. Click the button that opens the Properties dialog box. Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
    6. Select the appropriate options.
    • On Layout tab select Portrait or Landscape orientation.
    • On Paper/Quality tab select the appropriate paper size and paper type from the
    Paper Size and Media drop-down lists.
    • Click Advanced to select the appropriate output quality from the Printer
    Features list.
    NOTE: For maximum dpi resolution, go to the Paper/Quality tab and select
    Photo Paper, Best Quality from the Media drop-down list. Make sure you are
    printing in color. Then go to the Advanced tab and select Yes from the Print in
    Max DPI drop-down list. For more information, see Print using the maximum
    dpi.
    7. Click OK to return to the Properties dialog box.
    8. Click OK, and then click Print or OK in the Print dialog box.
    NOTE: Do not leave unused photo paper in the input tray. The paper might start to
    curl, which could reduce the quality of your printout. Photo paper should be flat before
    printing.
    I am an HP employee.
