Unhappy White space margin appearing in the header when printing to pdf or paper


Hi I have letter header in which the header image is perfectly aligned to the page in Word 2016 (img1) but when I try to print it to pdf or to paper there is a weird spacing in the right side (img2).

I have tried many things like changing the margins, messed with page setups but nothing is working, please help.

Please see attached images.

The behaviour is due to the fact that, although all the data get sent to your printer, it is unable to do full-page bleeds and, because of hardware limitations, anything in the non-printing area simply cannot be printed; similarly, the non-printing area data returned by the printer is possibly also telling your PDF printer what not to 'print'. Since you're using Word 2016, you could try simply saving the document as a PDF.

Hi Paul,

Thank you very much, it worked. But is there a workaround if we want to directly print it without saving it first as a pdf?

Thanks,

You might get better results if you install and activate a printer driver for a printer capable of doing full-page bleeds (e.g. a photo printer), but saving as a PDF seems a lot less involved than having to switch printer drivers every time you want to create such a PDF - then switch back again.
