Hello everyone,
I'm facing a problem with Word today... I created my CV, everything looks fine but once I save it as a PDF or try to print it, everything shifts! I have margins at the top, bottom, and left even though in my document everything is normal!
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance!!

Classic problem, already mentioned, and not specifically related to Word: when you create a PDF using the system utility, it requires access to the print settings. And therefore to the margin settings saved for the selected printer.
The solution is to go through the "Page Setup" button to create (if not already done) a custom paper size without margins (which we will call, for example, "A4 without margins") and to select it before launching the PDF creation. That way, no more margins... In other cases, if we have a printer that can print without margins, we can simply configure the print dialog so that the PDF creation is done without margins that way. But, well, not sure it's any faster (and basically it comes down to the same, it's more a matter of habits).
