Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi all,

I am trying to create some PDF prints of a programme from P6 16.2 and when setting up a print for A3 and printing via pdf writer (i have tried Microsoft to PDF, CutePDF Writer and DORO) the writer is not filling the print area. When in the print preview screen the print area is filled but when I open the printed PDFs the print area is only about 2/3 full. This is the same across all the different PDF writers I have tried. I have not yet tried printing to paper as this is a new P6 set up and my printer is currently out of action.

The problem also seems to be exclusive to P6 as the print area is filled in Microsoft project and Excel when I've tried those to rule out where the problem is coming from. 

Even when printing to A4 the print area is not filled. Any ideas anyone? :)

Thanks in advance
