Mac
On Apple computers, page margin settings of PDFs are controlled via the printer dialogue box. Because many printers do not support borderless printing, your Mac's default margins also have margins. For example, standard A4 pages are created with a margin of 2cm on each side. This then also applies to PDFs.
To get around this restriction, you can set your own print format. To do this, open the printer dialogue box and scroll down the list of all available page settings. Click on Custom Paper Formats and create a paper format with the desired dimensions. For a borderless A4 sheet, this would be 210mm x 297mm with a custom print area of 0mm on all sides, as you can see in the following three pictures.
Again: A borderless PDF on your computer screen does not mean that your printer also supports borderless printing. To print borderless documents you need a special printer that offers this feature.
