Extending the PDF all the way to the page edges is a pointless exercise if some of the content will be cropped off by your printer. That's what the 'outside the printable area of the page' warning is about. Most printers have a 0.25in/6mm non-printable area on some or all edges of the paper. If there is no printable content in that area of the PDF, you could:
• crop it to fit the printable area; or
• change its text wrapping to 'square',
and reset the margins to at least whatever minimum your printer requires. I assume the second option works on Macs - it does on PCs.

Otherwise, if you really need to create a document for full-page bleeds, try installing and activating a driver for a photo printer that can do them, then saving the document. Again, I have no idea of how printer driver installations work on a Mac - the ruse does work on PCs.
