How do I prepare an Aperture PDF file for full-bleed printing?
If you want your Aperture PDF book to be printed full-bleed (i.e. edge-to-edge printing), please do the following in Aperture: (a) Click on the print button (or File->Print book) (b) In the print dialog box, change the paper size to “US Letter Borderless” (c) Click the “Save as PDF” button If “US Letter Borderless” is not an option, then you probably don’t have a printer installed on your computer that supports borderless printing (evidently, Aperture only provides the “US Letter Borderless” option based upon the printer(s) you’ve installed). If “US Letter Borderless” is not an option for printing, then you can configure a custom paper size to enable borderless printing. You can do this by choosing “Custom paper size” on the Print dialog and then entering a page size of 11″ wide x 8.5″ tall. This custom paper size should then be borderless (alternative method: there may be a small triangle to the right of “US Letter” which will bring up more options for borderless printing).
