Hi,

I wanted to print out some nice copies of the pre-generated characters from the Adventurer's book for a local demo. When I purchased the books, I received a link to obtain the PDFs, but the files I received have the borders on the pages with lines used for cutting at the printers. These borders don't look very nice as a handout, and I was wondering if I am able to get the PDFs without them.

Thanks,
Brian McNeilly

It seems to be something that happens with most PDFs. The page size of the document tends to be a bit larger than A4, representing a page from a book. The only thing to make the print fit more of the page would be to adjust your printer settings. PDFs tend to have an option to 'shrink to fit' or 'fit to page' which shrinks the page image to fit it all on the paper, which gives you the borders.

There should be printer options to have the page be actual size or to print borderless, these will minimize the borders when you print but you might still have a bit of white showing at the top and bottom, but you might loose some of the image from the sides of the page. The only thing then would be to cut out the border.

It is a little annoying, something that I have issues with as well, the only way to make sure you would get the full size without borders would be to have a custom paper size that is exact to the size of the PDF page, not sure if this would be Letter size or what.

Hope this helps.
