Not sure what you're asking, Norton :) Is any of the *content* being cut
off or do you simply want to output edge-to-edge (i.e. Full Bleed)?

If the former, there must be a problem of some type but more detailed &
specific information will be needed in order to address it.

If the latter, you may be able to get satisfactory results if you go to
File> Page Setup & set the Width & Height values to the same dimensions as
the paper size rather than using the default settings - IOW, size the slides
as 11" x 8.5" as opposed to Letter Paper, for example.

Keep in mind, though, that not many desktop printers will actually print
"borderless" for anything larger than 5" x 7" photo paper. If you have any
intention of printing the PDF you may have to go the commercial route. And
depending on your objective you may want to consider outputting as something
other than a PDF - Show, Movie, Web Page, Package...

To create a PDF with no borders for screen viewing, you should be able to do as
Bob's suggested: match the PPT slide setup size to the PDF size. You'll also need
to choose the "Fit to page size" option in the print dialog box.

Whether or not you can print without borders will depend on your printer. Many
can't print all the way to the edge of the paper.

Thanx for help! Especially the "Fit to page size" checked was the most
important part of it. You saved my day :)
