Question
Do you have a DeskJet printer?
If yes - see the answer later in this message - Section "Printer - Margins"
OR
In general, set print "Size" to "Fit" on the paper as opposed to original or actual size.
Example - Reader - PDF Print - Print Menu options
PDF_Reader_Main_Menu_Border_7

Printer - Margins
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important
DeskJet printers do not support Borderless
and
DeskJet printers require a larger margin along the bottom edge of the paper.
These limitations impact how content is printed on paper.
This DeskJet printer requires a larger margin along the bottom edge (1/2 inch).
Borderless Printing | No |
Print Margin Bottom (A4) | 12.7 mm |
Print Margin Left (A4) | 3 mm |
Print Margin Right (A4) | 3 mm |
Print Margin Top (A4) | 3 mm |
There is no software, firmware, or alignment that changes the larger margin requirement.
The solution to "chopped off" is to keep all data inside of 1/2 inch / 12.7mm on the bottom edge.
This limitation includes all text, images, page numbers, footer information, cells, tables, lines, other notations, and all file types, too.
Create your original document with 12.7mm ( 1/2 inch ) margins.
