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 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 on pdf?

    Why am I getting a white border on the top and bottom of my pdf when I save my doc in pages?  And this only happens sometimes...

    Here is a sample of what I mean...  Apologies for the size.  Those white spaces at the top and bottom are not part of the original document.  I would LOVE to use Pages '09 still, however I am unable to edit old documents transferred over to my new laptop in Pages '09 format, the printed version is horrible, and the screen images are too fuzzy for my use and the work I need to do.

  • Unwanted white border around a div

    I placed a div that I am using for a background. Before I add an image I am testing it out by giving it a blue background. I have the width and height set to 100% and left to 0px and top to 0px. When I test it in a browser (IE 8) or view it in Design view it has a white border around it. There is no border setting or margin setting. Is there some preference setting in Dreamweaver that makes this aproximately 10px border? If so how do I get rid of it?

    Thank you both - that helped to clear up some of the issues but others remain. I'm assuming I can keep the dialogue going but will start a new thread if that is required.
    I uploaded the page and css files to my server. The page file is http://www.wlvs.com/untitled-1.html and the css file is http://www.wlvs.com/test.css  I ame using these file to try out styles. The background div (backgnd) will ultimately be an image but for now I'm just using a color. The "wraper" has an image that I gave a padding to at the top and bottom and for some reason it is showing a dark blue color. - I thought it would allow the background color to show through - shouldn't it??
    The other issue is centering the logo in the "header". I suppose I could use <center> but I am trying to figure out what is the css code for doing it. Nothing seems to work. I was able to center the "wraper" image but could not do the logo.
    Any help would be much appreciated...

  • Unwanted white border when printing to file on LR2

    I have been using "print to file" on LR2 (mac) to export images for a website (the only way that I know to add the identity plate so that it is readable).
    I always get a white border around the image.(In addition to the custom Inner stroke border that I can add myself) How do I get rid of the white border??
    Thanks,
    Nikos.

    Nikos!!!! You should be out shooting not blabbering on internet fora ;-)
    You;re using LR 2.0 b I think. Two ways: Set up a costum page size with zero margins in the Page setup and reduce the margins in the layout section to zero. Second way is to set custom file dimensions in the print job section and then set the margins in the page layout section to zero. You should also extend the cell size to the max and make sure you have enabled Zoom to fill and Rotate to fit.
    Cheers!

  • An unwanted white border appears around image after dragging it to the document. Why? How to get rid of border?

    Thanks.
    Bob

    The primary image that I'm concerned with is a jpg file, 74kb, 642x402. Also used same image at 53kb, 400x249.
    Here's some good info.
    I tried using same image on an old Pages document I made last yr - No border.  And - I used an image from the old flyer and put it on the current flyer and - got a Border.
    A difference: the flyer I used last yr was a blank document - no template. The current flyer I'm working on is one I chose from the templates with the tear-offs at the bottom for name and phone number.
    Is there something intrinsic with this template that creates a border around images?
    How do I do a screensnap? If you still need.
    Thanks again.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • Image Added to PDF FFile via Preview Adds Large, White Border

    ::not sure where to stick a 'Preview' discussion::
    I've downloaded several books as PDF files to add to my iBooks app on my iPhone, and I'm wanting to give them their respective book covers. I open the PDF file in Preview, drag and drop the image to the top of the list to create the cover, but I get an ugly, white border around the image itself. There is no white border on the image file itself, so I have no idea why this border is being created.
    I've noticed smaller image files have a larger border, but the image I'm using is 716x1024. It doesn't matter if I increase the image size to help reduce the white border, it still remains.
    Any advice?

    Edited to add - sorry, my description was slightly wrong.
    If I open a single .JPG in a new Preview, and save it as a .PDF, the dimensions are fine. The issue only occurs if I try to add .JPG's to existing PDF's.
    It also occurs if you use the shell to convert a single JPG image, i.e.
    "/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/./convert" -f /users/me/downloads/cvg06300162.jpg -o /users/me/downloads/cvg06300162.pdf
    - this gives the reduced size image as well.

  • Please please help! White border in interactive PDF

    Hi Everyone, Please someone help me as its driving me mad! I have an interactive PDF with SWFs added via SWFPresenter script- all the animations work  (each picture fades in as expected) but instead of it being full screen (as in the first screenshot), it has a large white border (as in second) Any ideas would really help me!!
    Thanks

    Moved to InDesign forum.
    When you export you will note that you export an Adobe PDF. There's a reason for that.
    Mac Preview is fine for a plain vanilla PDF but it ends there.

  • My PDF has a half inch white border on the left when I open it in firefox

    My PDF has a half inch white border on the left, as though the margins were inset by a half inch. But when I open up the PDF in Adobe Reader or Safari, it displays with borders as I need them.
    For instance, the cover page, which is green, has a half inch border on the left.

    Firefox might be reserving space for the sidebar that shows the page selection.

  • Unwanted two-sided white border upon JPEG export

    I'm having an export issue in Illustrator.
    I've created an artboard in Illustrator to the  dimensions I need the final piece to be (for web). I did the design,  went to export as JPEG and the saved JPEG file has a fat white border on  just the top and right hand side of the art. There is no lingering  empty text box or anything in the upper right that would make it include  the white space in the exported file. I've tried exporting as a GIF,  PNG, and JPEG with no success. I've tried making the background picture  larger than the artboard and that didn't work.
    Artwork is below. Notice fat white border. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    In the Save For Web dialog, click on the Image Size tab and check the box for Clip to Artboard.
