Word 2010: Printing to pdf without borders

So I've been all over the Internet trying to find a solution to my problem -- couldn't get Word to print to a pdf without a white border around the page. I finally figured it out, and I hope it works for you!

In Word file, go to Page Setup:
Settings - Page Attributes
Format for - Any Printer
Paper Size - click here and then click on Manage Custom Sizes

Click + to add new size - name it PDF borderless
Click in the paper size boxes to make 8.5 x 11 (or whatever you need)
Make sure Non-Printable Area says User Defined, and change margins in boxes to 0
Click OK

Go to Print menu:
Printer - choose any 
Presets - Standard
Click on PDF - Save as PDF
Choose file name and save location
Click Save

Voila! I'm so happy!!

Some printers do not allow completely borderless printing.

You can completely borderless printing using the windows photo print wizard (found by opening picture & fax viewer and clicking print) - using a photo as a test).
