Create borderless (no margin) PDFs
Dec 06, '04 09:14:00AM • Contributed by: jendahl
I needed to generate PDF files for our school from Word documents created on Office XP. "No problem," I thought, "just open it in Word X and Print to PDF." Sure enough, that worked fine, except I failed to notice that the original files went right to the edge of the paper, and my PDFs clipped the edges. I tried the various printers I had installed, and none of them would allow me to print with no margins.
Doing a quick Google search yielded several photo printers that would make borderless prints, but I had none of those printers installed, and I couldn't create a new one. Then I realized I could trick Print Center into thinking one of my installed printers was something different by simply specifying a different printer type. I installed a printer a second time, gave it a catchy name (borderless PDF), and then changed the model to an Epson Stylus Color 83 driver. Now my PDFs can be borderless.
