Question
Glen:

I am attempting to print a booklet from InDesign on 11*17 paper to create a brochure type document.  However, I do not want any white space around the edges.  How do I remove this?

Thanks!

Bekah

Answer
Hi Bekah,

In order to end up with an 11 x 17 page that bleeds off the edge, you'll have to print it on an 11.25 x 17.25 or bigger sheet of paper. There is a good article about bleeds here; http://www.bestprintingonline.com/bleed.htm

You could make your pages magazine size, 8.375 x 10.875, and accommodate printing it on 11 x 17 with full bleed.

Hope this helps,
