I need to give my customers proper instructions on the correct page layout for a full bleed page, however there is an issue with printing to PDF. I am currently using Office 07 and Acrobat 9, in Word I set the page size to 9x11.5 and the margins to 0 (I also tried other margin sizes to see if this was the issue) and I created a box with no border and filled with a random color and sized it to fill the entire page. When I save to PDF the background completly fills the 9x11.5 page area, however when I print to Adobe PDF it creates a .25 white border along all 4 sides removing the bleed area without changing the page size. I also tried Primo PDF and it created the border as well. On my end it doesn't matter much because I can save as a PDF, but we have customers that use older versions that can't save as a PDF. Any ideas on how to correct the issue?

Do you have a sample file you can post and a list of the exact steps that you have tried to create the PDF. List the steps for the various process you have tried. Also, what version of AA9 are you using? It is currently at AA9.4.5.

The Link Below will have a link to 3 files, the original .doc file, a pdf file created using the Save As feature and a pdf file created using the Adobe PDF printer.
The 1st method, which worked fine, was the Save As, feature which doesn't have any setting I adjusted, I just went to File, Save As... and selected Adobe PDF.
For the 2nd Method I went to file, Print... and at the Print Dialog Box I changed the Printer to Adobe PDF and clicked on the Properties button. Next I went to the Layout tab and clicked the Advanced button. Then I went to the Page Size drop down menu and selected PostScript Custom Page Size. Here I typed in 9 for the width and 11.5 for the height to match my word do and then clicked OK until I got back to the print dialog box and clicked print. As you can see in the PrintTo.pdf file a white border was added. I also tried changing it to short edge 1st and I also tried leaving the PostScript size at the default size of 8.5x11 and it produced the same file every time.

Oh, and I'm currently Acrobat 9.4.4, I am going to update to 9.4.5 now and will attempt to Print to PDF again after...
After updating to 9.4.5 I still had the same problem with Printing to Adobe PDF

I am not sure what to say about your problem. I ran AA9.4.5 with a test print (set the custom page size in the printer properties to 9X11.5) for the file in WORD 2007. It came out with a full page and no margin. This would suggest that you have a margin setting in WORD, a reduction specified in the printer
I could not find anything in WORD that seemed to make a difference. All the cases I ran were as expected. If there is a failure mode, then most of us would likely want to know the issues.
