Margins around everything I make when printing

Hi everyone, 

When I make any sort of document in Adobe InDesign (or Illustrator) the design fills the entire space on the screen, but, when I print it, there is a large white border around the entire document. I have tried using bleed lines and dragging the design out wider. I have tried adjusting the settings. No matter what I do, it shrinks my document to make space for the border around the edges. The only way I have found around it is to print it out of adobe acrobat and adjust the advanced settings to have no border while printing. However, I want to make documents for a client that does not have access to adobe acrobat. Is there anything I can do when setting up or saving my file to prevent the white border around the edges?

Thanks in advance.
