powerpoint >> Cutting off edges when printing to PDF

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Power PC

So, I guess I have figured out that if I select "Fit to page size" AND set my PPT page size to US Letter, then I can avoid the dreaded white border when printing to PDF.

Here's my question: Why does it cut off the bottom and right side of my document? Well, not cut-off exactly, more like block out with white?? It's making me nuts.

Many thanks!

Ok, I figured it out.

I had to change my printer to Adobe PDF in the file set up menu and click ok.

* sigh* problem solved.

3. When printing to PDF from Word, bottom of page is cut off

I've got a really annoying problem. When using "Save as PDF" from the Print
menu (Microsoft Word v.X on Mac OS X Panther), the footer of my pages get
cut off. This happens when I print to a normal printer as well. I know it's
not a physical inability of the printer to get to the edge because a guy
here running Word on a PC can print the same page just fine, and anyway, the
PDF shouldn't have a problem printing to the edge! How do I convince the PDF
printing driver that the "Margins are *not* outside the printable area"? I
want it to put everything that's visible on my Word page onto the
corresponding PDF page, and not cut off the bottom. Where is something like
that controlled? Unfortunately I have to stay with the Word form I have
(it's a government form and I am not allowed to alter it to raise the bottom
margin or anything like that). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank
you!

7. edge-to-edge printing

Hi -

Can anyone give a tip on how to print edge-to-edge on Office:Word v.X
running in OS X 10.3.3?  My document has an edge-to-edge masthead that
gets cropped about 1/4" on the left, right and top.  How can I get
Word to NOT add margins during printing?

Thx,

Z.
