Setting margins for the PDF document?

[smilemagician042]

I was wondering if I am able to adjust the margins of the PDF document somehow. I am trying to create the PDFs with very small margins, so the printing takes up nearly all of the 8.5" x 11" page. Thanks for your help!

I believe this would have to be set via the application creating the document. Printable area is usually set prior to printing.

I too am having problems with the margins set by PrimoPDF. I am using Windows XP Home and produce Word 2002 documents on A4 with narrow margins. When I print to a 'real' printer, they print correctly. If I switch the 'printer' to PrimoPDF and then Print Preview, the document is displayed correctly, but when the PDF document is produced by PrimoPDF and viewed in Acrobat Reader, the margins have increased in size and the contents of the page have been scaled accordingly. Is there a way to get the printed PDF document to look identical to the printed Word document?
