Okay simple question here (to which the answer is likely ... buy distiller silly). I have a word document with full page images (edge to edge), but I can't print them to PDF without getting the margins applied by my printer. How do I get round that? I could make the document on a larger custom paper size, but then the PDF will just end up larger with margins somewhere else.
Is this just the limitation of not using the PDF printer driver?
Ahhh .... I've maybe

However I'm stuck with software that creates PDFs by printing to a PDF printer, and that was insisting on putting 5mm margins on the PDf pages, cutting off my full bleed image. However making a custom paper size with no printer margins solved that
