Print settings confusion

[mjk280]

Hi,

See attached image for reference. I made a handbook exactly like this last year that had a small white border on the cover, which I didn't want but it was no big deal. This year I essentially overwrote last year's file for the 2021 version of this same handbook, but as you can see now the cover is much smaller in Print Preview. I want the cover to have no border around it and fit the whole page. What do I need to do to accomplish this? Thanks!

Hi @mjk280and Welcome to the Forums,

What are the dimensions of your Publisher file?  From the screenshot, it looks like you have the page size set to 612 points by 792 points.  

Also it, looks like you are trying to create a PDF using the Print dialog, which is fine but normally i would suggest using File>Export>PDF.

Thanks I did try File>Export>PDF which seemed to work. There still might be fine lines on the vertical edges but it's hard to tell. I'm just not sure in general how to ensure that what I put on the pages in Affinity translate in the same way to printing the physical document. Perhaps this is most of the confusion though (export vs print).
