Anyway to do this? I have a thousand page pdf doc that I need to print out but want to maximize viewing area. Obviously individually cropping pages is out of the question.

    If you are using AA9 or earlier, you can get rid of the borders, but for your number of pages it will be time consuming. Open the 2-up PDF and use the object tool to select a junction of the border and delete. That worked for me. However, you will have to do this 500 times. Apparently a new option has been added to AA X.

    not quite sure I understand.

    Do you want to print a 4-up for example that has no white border/padding/margin/gutter on the page?   You can print that.  If you want to cut there are copy shops that can cut a stack of several hundred sheets of paper with a laser-precision cutter but they are only as precise as the prints.  Some of the sheets will come out mis-cut because you don't allow the gutter for the margin of error of the printer.  That is why when you print borderless you actually put bleed-space into your design and cut into the design.

    I want to print the pdf with 2 pages per side (4 per sheet) and so it reads like a book. However, Adobe doesn't have a borderless option when printing multiple pages per sheet
