Gutter and Trim Marks in Adobe Acrobat Booklet Printing

I'm trying to print a two sided booklet in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC but it keeps adding a gutter margin so the pages don't print flush as shown below:

Is there any way to get rid of this in Acrobat or is this the printer and I have no control over it?

Also, if I can get the two pages flush, I'd like to add trim marks, is that possible?

Thanks!

No, That’s not possible. The print booklet feature with Acrobat has not been designed to be used as an imposition tool, but either to have a cheap (both in cost and look) possibility to print a few sheets of paper booklet wise.

I use either my printer‘s capabilities if there are or I do a booklet with Indesign and print that one if I need a correctly looking booklet. My company has invested in a printer with an attached cutter and other machines to be able to print borderless booklets. But it’s the printer doing the hard job. We are only providing a PDF file formated according to the printer’s needs.
