Question

Marks and Bleeds

I have a 50ish page document with 8.5 x 11 in pages and I'm preparing to print them into a bound booklet but I want to keep my images that go to the edge and not have the .125 in white margin.  When I go to print as a pdf I have these settings but each time I try my page ends up being .46 in bigger in each direction rather than .125 in so then the entire document comes out to be 9.42 x 11.92 in when I view it in adobe acrobat.  Am I doing something wrong??

    I saw someone else had this exact same issue (Solved: Illustrator PDF WRONG Size - Adobe Community - 9506253) and someone said to unclick use document bleed settings so I tried setting the document bleed settings to be .125 in and it still exported as 9.42 x 11.92 in

    It's probably the printers marks that make the page size so large

    this is what the page looks like when i view it as a pdf, how do I make the trim marks within the .125 in?
