Cannot Control Bleed - White Border - CS4

Good morning. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction regarding how to get rid of the white border that is being printed on my paper.
I have looked around and found the following posts a little helpful but they weren't able to solve my issue.
In following the first thread it appears to be unresolved and a link provided within, to another thread, doesn't seem to resolve my issue either even though it appears to be answered in that thread.
The answer to this thread (shown below) mentions to go into 'Print Booklet'...
...and in the Margins section to enter the depth of bleed.
So I go into the Margins section (as shown below on my computer) but am not sure what to select. I've deselected the 'Auto' adjust to make sure my bleed is set to 'zero' but it still prints with the white margin.
And if I follow the directions from the Answer further, by selecting 'Print Settings', I don't see anything that references 'PDF' in this window or series of windows that was mentioned.
It appears there are many places to control bleed and margins in InDesign. And after reading that 'bleed' is a required for control of your printing it makes sense.
But how do I print a sample of this artwork for approval, the way it is supposed to look when printed, without the border?
And furthermore, if my end product is supposed to be a tri-fold printed on an 8.5x11 paper and I have sized my artboards to fit this size (in thirds - 3.61 in x 8.5 in) but I am required to have crop marks, registration marks and color bars for the printer does that mean I have to print this 8.5x11 artwork on larger paper?

If you printer doesn't support borderless printing then you can't do what you want without using larger paper and cutting it.
And to be honest, that's the best way since borderless printers work by scaling the output and you can't control it.

Cannot edit keywords - white border on box

I have an issue which emerges intermittently & I do not know what causes it or how to escape it once it has occurred....
The keyword box for an image suddenly shows a white border and its contents cannot be edited. Keywords can only be added through the input box below the main box, keywords cannot be removed once input and cannot be edited.
If anyone can explain what brings this on and how to escape it then I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Scott

I just created the white border. Quitting and coming back into Lightroom cleared the issue.
Prior to me noticing the border I did a lot of events that may or may not be associated.
I searched for "Christopher", added photos to a quick collection, selected all of them and exported photos from Lightroom as email size and full resolution. Used Photoshop to convert some Microsoft Paint images to PDF then used Lightroom to Synch the folder and import 2 Photoshop documents which I keyworded. Of course, the customer wanted more screen shots captured and converted so I did the convert to Photoshop and synch/import to Lightroom. I pulled the MS .BMP files directly into Photoshop from Explorer without going through Lightroom. The Photoshop documents were discovered and imported.
The immediate actions just prior to the problem.
Photoshop was open with no open documents. I started key wording raw files that had minimal previews. I completed a series of about 10 photos with the keywording menu (right side menus) open. The photos were in loupe view. Just prior to noticing the white box I had zoomed into a photo to identify a person. I started typed his name "parker" which contains a lot of Lightroom hot keys. I noticed the white box after the computer returned to normal and I was back to the keywording screen.
My crappy computer may be to blame
It is fairly slow (looking to replace it). Sony Vaio VGN-CR410E, Intel Core2 Duo T5550 @ 1.83Ghz (2 core processor), 3GB RAM, Windows Vista 64. Photos on an external HDD (USB 2.0), previews and catalog on local drive.
Lightroom
Lightroom version 3.4.1 [729592] Built-in memory and Real Memory available to Lightroom 3061.6MB. Real memory used by Lightroom 464.5 (variable). Application, Library Path, and Settings folder are all on C: drive in default locations.
Hopefully that helps someone figure out the cause. I don't do a lot of software testing but it is in my past.

White border in pdf preview of bleed doc

Hi,
As the attached image shows I get a thin white border on my pdf preview of a document that has a 3mm bleed. I have tried to increase the bleed to 5mm but with same result. I've also tried to exceed the black background outside the bleed marks in InDesign - no result. The pdf is exported with document is generated I'm stuck. Why do I get this annoying thin white border when previewing the pdf document? The people I'm sending this to thinks its something wrong and even if this should turn out to be in preview mode only its ruining my work as everyone else is asking about it when looking at the pdf. Use Document Bleed settings is ticked.

You mentioned trying to increase the bleed areas by dragging the black box larger, but are you actually specifying the larger bleed when exporting the PDF
Also, you mention Bleed Marks rather than Crop Marks.
Crop marks show where the page will be trimmed and this is what the printer needs to see.
Bleed marks are essentially useless. they only show the edge of the bleed, but give NO indication where the printer should trim to
Your black screenshots are hard to decipher, but the Magenta box in your 2nd screenshot only shows the margins on the inside of the page.
Unless you have set the margins to 0, the magenta margin box will always be smaller that the page (the final trim size which is what the Crop marks are for)
Have you accidently set a Slug area larger than the bleed? This is only way I can get the white space to show.
The example below used greatly exaggerated settings to better show some issues.I greatly increased the bleed area to swallow the Crop marks and then included the Slug area to show the white.(slugs are not always used or even needed)
The Magenta box are the margins inside the page.
The Red box is the bleed area.
The Crop marks in between these two are what the printer need to cut on to produce the final page size.
Click on the image below to see a larger version with more detail.
P,S, you mentioned about not being able to print the bleeds. If you have bleeds and crops that will make the final PDF size larger than your desktop printer can print, just select FIT or REDUCE OVERSIZE PAGE in the print dialog and it will print on your printer. Of course it will not be to 100 scale, but it will show all the elements in the PDF.

White Border created in PDF docs from InDesign CS5 -how to get rid of it

How do I get rid of the white border that prints on my pictures?

Lightroom 2 - Windows 7 64-bit - Nikon D700
I have just downloaded my Lightroom software to my new computer which runs Windows 7. I had lightroom on my old Vista computer and just had to change the border size to remove it from my pictures, however, for some reason it will not let me remove it anymore. When I try to adjust the border size it states it cannot be smaller than .2. Therefore, I have a white border around all my pictures I am printing. HELP! How do I get rid of this border. Thank you so much for the help.

Make sure you select a borderless papersize in the page setup. That will allow Lightroom to set the margins to zero. Otherwise it sets it to the minumum value the printer tells Lightroom it can print at at the current print size. Your printer and driver need to support borderless printing for this to work.

Printing a .pdf with "boxed" sections appearing as "white" and showing a "white" border to the "box"

Dear Community,
I have created a .pdf file from an email and then "boxed" sections of the document with a white border and a white fill, intending the recipient to be unable to see the text within the "box". However, when I print the document it appears as if the "boxed" sections did not exist. In other words, all the text in the email is printed. Can anyone help with a solution, please.

You cannot create pdf files or forms in Adobe Reader. If you used Acrobat, please repost in that forum.

White border problem when zooming with SWF in PDF

Hi Everyone,
I have posted my original querry in the Indesign forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5176893#5176893
I'm having problems with zooming whedn trying to create a PDF with SWF inserted.. at certain levels of zoom I get a white border on the left and right of the document which squashes the content into the middle and makes it a little pixelated. I also get a thin white border on the right when zooming out. Does anyone have any ideas where I might be going wrong?
Thanks,
Em

Not wishing to be rude, but that workflow is not supposed to be used that way.
InDesign's ability to export SWFs is intended for showing the file in a Web page, and Acrobat's ability to embed SWFs is only intended for small annotations placed within the pages of a conventional PDF file. By placing the entire Layout as a SWF you are in effect playing the entire thing as a movie in Flash Player - all the advantages of the PDF format are completely lost, there is no vector-rendering of any content or text, and users will find it very hard to understand what's going on (the navigation buttons in Acrobat or Reader will not work, text is not searchable or accessible, multiple pages cannot be printed, etc.).
It's not entirely trivial to do this 'correctly', as at the moment we don't have full support in the PDF standard for all the interactive features that InDesign can apply to page objects - that's why they are grouped into PDF and non-PDF in the various selection menus in InDesign. Rather than saving as a SWF you should be using Export to Interactive PDF, and ensuring that the various interactive items and media are all selected on the export dialog.
Basic stuff such as links and video will export just fine that way, and the PDF will preserve everything else in the Layout as native text or graphics so it'll look fine, navigate properly and be searchable. Animations and buttons will not work as expected, so you may have to revise their behavior if PDF is your intended output destination.

Can't get rid of white border around image

http://www.gunnar.ca/laminatepage2.htm
I created a rounded corner in photoshop for my table. I
created a cell in the bottom left corner of the table and placed
the gif. There is a thin whit border around the outer edge of the
gif, so it doesn't look genuinely rounded. Can anyone tell me how
to get rid of that so it looks like the table is actually rounded?
Thank you!

Because the table containing the GIF has a border. In your
styleA.css
stylesheet, the rule:
.border {
border: 1px solid #E5E5E5;
adds a border to the table. Delete the rule. Of course - that
may affect
other things that use the .border class. Or - delete the
class from the
table tag.
Several problems with the page:
styles.css cannot be found
sideNavStyles.css cannot be found
34 vaildation errors:

Multiple page pdf created from illustrator - has white border on pages

Hi - having trouble with a white border which appears around each page (have a colour background) in a multiple page pdf doc- created in illustrator (using page tiling) - anyone know the trick to get around this? Want the colour to go to the edges....see attached pdf

I'm using CS4 but that's OK you can get it to work in CS2
File: Print. Beside Media select Custom. Make the size really big. Then click done in lower right. Afterwards save your file.

Unwanted white border in PDF,

I get white border in my PDF. Designed A4 folding brochure in id cc14, exported as PDF. Bleed and margins set up 0.00. Any printer settings I apply don't make big different.
What to do?

No crop marks
Office printer unfortunately.
As you can see coloured elements stick well beyond the sheet.

White Border

Hi, I am trying to make continuos image on the paper book cover . I have cropped the image in photoshop and pasted into the cover and flap sections - so far so good. However when I preview the book there is always a white band about 1/4 inch wide down the edge of the cover and the front flap.
the join with the back flap looks fine. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a workaround for this? I have tried repositioning the images to no effect.
Thanks for reading.

Hi, I have made a screen grab of this but cannot see anyway of uploading an image!
All that is happening is that there is a white vertical strip between the cover image and the front flap.This is only visible when I preview the image as a pdf. I don't know how better to describe this.( I am trying to make continuous image across the dust cover.)
The rear flap seems fine - no white border. I have tried different themes all with the same result. I would be extremely interested if anyone else has encountered this problem or could suggest a solution
Thanks

Removing a white border around the Extension I'm building

Hi,
I have a CS Extension that I'm building, and while working on the UI I have noticed that there is a white line all around the extension, which I cannot get rid of. I've attached a screenshot showing an example of this white border.
See under the PUBLISH button is this white border. I have set the height and width in the Application tag of my app to 100%, but this does not remove the border. Does anyone know what the problem could be and how to get rid of it?
Stephen

Yes. There's a couple of pixels arounf the swf that you can't do much about.
Make the background color of your extension match the color of the panel, and noone will notice...

Removing white border around applet in browser?

Greetings All,
My applets are surrounded by a white border in Netscape and IE. Can I get rid of it so that the applet goes from edge to edge in the browser control? (Looks like default 5 pixel Hgap is in force, is this the case, and if so can it be overridden without access to the source code?)
TIA,
Dave.

Hi, Even when you assign 100% to width and height you will notice one black border around applet in case of IE5.0 When I go in to full srceen mode in IE 5.0 It should not show me scrollbars.
But because of this border scrollbar remains

Using Postcard Template, how do I print with NO white border?

I am trying to use the 4 postcard template and cannot get the photo printed without a white border around the edge of the paper. I want to the photo to take up the entire card. What am I doing wrong? Obviously I am new to this so I would appreciate very simple instructions.

To test how close to the edge your printer prints, just make up a page in Pages with an all over grey box and print that.
Then adjust your postcard template to suit.
You have not said whether you are printing to A4 or US Letter.
http://www.office.xerox.com/multifunction-printer/color-multifunction/phaser-856 0mfp/spec-enus.html
suggests you can print to larger paper stock and possibly trim it back.

Adding image/photo without a white border

Hello, I have searched these discussions and looked through help and cannot find an answer if there is one. I would like to be able to add an image or photo to a page without that automatic little white border . I do have photoshop if that helps. Is there a way to acomplish this? Thanks... having LOTS of fun with iWeb.

Hi, thanks, but I still get the white border around the outside of the graphic when I drag to an iWeb page. I created a gif, masked the white and saved with transparency checked, and on the graphic the white does not show, just the black vector art, but there is still a white border around the outside.
I would like to screencapture the background in iWeb and create an image on it in photoshop so that when I place it back into iWeb it will blend with the background and not have a white border. Not on a Photo page, but say, on the Welcome page. Can this be done or what am I doing wrong? Thanks:)
