PDF Image Printer

The Adding Borders to Page feature is used to add a custom-colored margin around the page. This feature will shrink the page contents to fit inside the bordered area.

A common use of this feature would be to create a white border in order to create space to add a watermark to the header or footer of a page where the page contents previously went right to the edge of the page.

All adding border settings are controlled through the profile.

Step by Step Instructions

1.Launch the PDF Image Printer Dashboard.
