Hi,

 

I have an unwanted page around each of my pages and I can't seem to select or remove them at all. I have tried going into the master sheet as well but am still unable to remove?

 

Please help! 🙂

The page trim always has a black guide line. Here in Normal view there is the slug guide (cyan), the bleed guide (red), the page trim guide (black), and the margin guide (magenta). In Preview mode the page trim guide still shows, while the others are hidden:

Thanks, but when I export to PDF the black trim turns white - is it possible to remove it for this export?

Can you post a screenshot?

Hopefully this is enough for you to see what I mean - in Presentation view - this line also prints out.

Hi @deb27324235cd6b,

 

Thanks for sharing the screenshot. To isolate the issue, check if any hidden frames or objects are right at the edge by enabling View > Extras > Show Frame Edges. If you see any frame or shape touching the edge, try moving it slightly inward or deleting it, then export the PDF again to see if the line disappears.

It would also be helpful to confirm your macOS or Windows version and whether this happens in all documents or just this one. If the problem continues, try creating a new file, copy only the content (not the page itself) into the new document, and export again.

Give this a try and let me know if the line is still showing up.

 

Looking forward ot hearing back.

I was able to remove borders from one page by doing this, and ended up rebuilding the other two pages by copying that one. The other two pages would never reveal their border location, even when I went through layer by layer!
