Ignoring printable margins

[beahlers]

We have been using PDF-XChange Viewer to print one document in different formats, such as a booklet version and a large print version. But in several options (booklet, multiple pages per sheet, and of course fit/reduce to printer margins), the whole document is shrunk to fit within the printable area of the printer. But in fact most documents are designed with their own margins, and so an option to fit to the page rather than the printer margins would be very helpful in these situation. Am I missing a setting to accomplish this, or is it available in one of the paid versions of the program (I'd be glad to upgrade for that), or is this a feature that could be considered for the future?

To get around this we have been printing, for example, a booklet, to another PDF file through PDF-XChange Printer Lite (which of course has no printer margins) to the appropriate size paper, and then printing that PDF to our regular printer using scaling type "None" (which does allow the document to overlap into the unprintable area of the printer; "Custom Scale" does too), but this involves extra steps for each type of print out we want.

A simple toggle to choose "Use Printable Margins" or "Use Whole Page" would seem to cover this.

Have you tried using the option Document Menu -> Resize pages in the PDF-XChange Editor to ensure the paper size set is good for the paper size you have available ?

I am afraid no additional features will be coming to the Viewer since the Editor superseded this product ..

there is a bug for now in the Editor (which is being fixed later today/tomorrow) - that means you should deselect the option in the Editor to install the previewer options available in the 'ShellExtensions' - so please ensure this install option is deselected.

Hi beahlers.

Also you may use the "Ignore printer margins" checkbox on Print dialog in our PDF-Editor when you printing booklet(or several other modes).
I believe - it is the option that you need..
