How to I produce a PDF which goes right to the edge on a Mac?

How to I produce a PDF which goes right to the edge on a Mac? I have recently moved to a Mac. I now have Acrobat X Pro 10.1.3, and Mac OS X 10.7.3. When I used Windows and Acrobat X Pro I was able to print to Acrobat to produce documents which went right to the edge on screen. Now on Mac I can only produce documents which have a border on them. I expect I am missing something quite fundamental, but it is frustrating me so I am seeking some help from those who know how to do this. Thank you in advance.

So I did a little exploring in Word for the Mac. I set the Word margins to 0 inches, then I placed a picture that went to the edges of the page.
The problem seems be that Word is very simple-minded, and when in the Print dialog, it adjusts the preview of the Print feature to the margins of the currently-selected printer. For my HP inkjet printer, that's about 1/8" in from the edges. When that data is passed to OS X to create a PDF, it uses those margins in the PDF file.
In Word for Windows, Acrobat installs a PDFMaker plug-in for Word. PDFMaker contols the creation of PDF so there are a lot more settings possible.
Acrobat has never made a plug-in for Word for the Mac. As to why, this has been debated endlessly for the past 15 or so years. Adobe claims that Microsoft doesn't provide the handles to do it in the Mac version of Word. Whether that's true, I don't know.

    If it's going on and off every minute you'll have to place it in recovery mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.  This will erase the phone so you will have to restore to an existing backup after restoring, if you have one.

    you would write a before each row trigger to update an "updated_by" column on your table to be USER.
    e.g.:
    :new.updated_by := USER;

    I have two hard drives on my G5(2004). How do I get to choose which hard drive is the start up disk when I turn on the computer? Is it the shift key I hold down?

    depending on which model of G5 and  OS installed will depend on whether a key command will work
    alt   at start up may  work, if it does not, use the start up disc setting in;  
    apple menu > system preferences > system  > start up disc
    of course, the second drive must have a compatible OS installed for it to be able to boot.

  • TS1362 some songs quit in the middle of the track even though there is time showing. It goes right to the next song.

    Songs quit in the middle of the track even though there is time showing. It goes right to the next song. Can I fix this or recover the full song?

    I just found out how to solve the problem today
    Go to the original location of the song. Meaning, if the song file is on the desktop then go there and individually click the songs and they'll play on Itunes perfectly fine
    I'm not sure why this happened but I hope that works for you!

    I stupidly uninstalled the version of iTunes I had working on my notebook when the update kept failing and am now unable to get anything happening at all.

    I had probs with 7.2. Reloaded 7.1 works fine. I think 7.2 needs some more work before it will work for me.

  • How do you create a PDF which others can type text in to?

    Hi,
    I need to create a pdf which others can type into and select options (a booking form). Anyone come across this?
    Thanks

    It's relatively easy to produce interactive forms with InDesign CS6/CC and complete them in Acrobat. The forms can include text boxes, radio buttons, tick boxes, drop down menus and so on. It's important to know how to save the form in Acrobat for distribution so that users can save the data once they've entered it. Lynda.com has some useful tutorials, for example: http://www.lynda.com/InDesign-tutorials/InDesign-CC-Interactive-Document-Fundamentals/1290 05-2.html?srchtrk=index:1%0Alinktypeid:2%0Aq:Indesign%0Apage:1%0As:relevance%0Asa:true%0Ap roducttypeid:2
    It's also useful to learn how to Replace an InDesign page in Acrobat when you want to update a form. I also suggest you make duplicates of your InDesign forms as once you have converted the form in Acrobat for distribution you can't change it at that stage.
    I suggest you produce some short practice forms before you commit yourself to the real thing so you can see what can and can't be done.

  • How to delete images from folder which are not in the database

    I am created windows form
    i wont to delete images from the folder where i have stored images but i only want to delete those images which are not in the data base.
    i don't know how it is possible . i have written some code
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    string connectionString = "Data Source";
    conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    cmd.Connection = conn;
    cmd.CommandText = "select * from tbl_pro";
    conn.Open();
    SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
    da.Fill(dt);
    int count = Convert.ToInt32( dt.Rows.Count);
    string[] image1 = new string[count];
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    image1[i] = dt.Rows[i]["Image1"].ToString();
    string[] image2 = new string[count];
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)

    var del = arrays[j].ToString();
    else

    string filePath = "G:\\Projects\\Images\\"+value;
    File.Delete(filePath);
    here error coming "DEL IS NOT IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT"
    I have to change anything .Will It work alright?
    pls help me
    Sms

    Hi Fresherss,
    Your del is Local Variable, it can't be accessed out of the if statement. you need to declare it as global variable like below. And if you want to collect the string, you could use the List to collect, not a string.  the string will be split to chars
    one by one.
    List<string> del=new List<string>();
    for (int j = 1; j <= b; j++)
    if (arrays[j].ToString() != arr[j].ToString())
    del.Add(arrays[j].ToString());
    else
    foreach (var value in del)
    string filePath = "G:\\Projects\\Images\\" + value;
    File.Delete(filePath);
    If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

  • How to catch Exception in backingbean which is thrown from the Model layer.

    Hi,
    JDev Ver: 11.1.1.2.0
    In my application there are two layer viewcontroller & model.
    In model layer I have created JPA service facade which does the database operation like persist, merge & remove entity.
    I am calling this service facade method from backing bean via below standard code.
    public static Object invokeMethod(String methodName, String mapKey,
    Object object){
    BindingContext bcx =
    DCUtil.getBindingContext((HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest());
    JUFormBinding bc1 = (JUFormBinding)bcx.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
    FacesCtrlActionBinding reassignOperationBinding =
    (FacesCtrlActionBinding)bc1.findControlBinding(methodName);
    if (mapKey != null && object != null) {
    Map params = reassignOperationBinding.getParamsMap();
    params.put(mapKey, object);
    Object result = reassignOperationBinding.execute();
    return result;
    This is a static method which I am calling from backingbean to invoke service facade persist, merge or remove entity method
    I have written throws in all the methods signature of service facade.
    The exception which is thrown from the service facade are not comming back to backingbean catch block.
    Is there any way to catch this exception in backingbean.
    regards,
    devang

    Hi,
    2 things to check
    1 - does reassignOperationBinding has errors. You can check on the component
    2 - does the exception show on the binding layet. See the Fusion Developer guide for how to define an error handler on the databindings.cpx file

  • How to send formatted email text which is maintained in the SE61 by CL_BCS

    Helllo Colleague:
    I maintained some email text template in the SE61, there are some format in these text template. E.g. bold / italics.
    Then I will send these text by the function CL_BCS .
    So how could I send the email with the format which is defined in the SE61? I can get the text information from SE61 by FC:DOCU_GET in 'ITF' format .
    Could you please show some code sample ?
    Thank you
    Best regards
    Wendeng

    so you don't have permission to send email through their mailservers, what a surprise.
    Ever heard of spam? Ever wondered how people manage to send millions of emails through other peoples' servers?
    That's why most companies don't allow you to send email through their servers unless you're located inside their network (and even then require username and password).
