Remove the bleed on Canva

Solved

Hello everyone!

Today I'm facing a rather troublesome problem:
I've finalized my online CV on Canva, so I'm rushing to save it as a .pdf in A4 format and print it, and then disaster struck! You guessed it, there's an issue with the bleed that shifts the entire layout on all four edges of the page.

I want to point out that I'm completely hopeless at design; I'm convinced this issue is a beginner's mistake ^^'

So my questions are as follows:
- Should I remove the bleed directly from Canva (I'm not sure such an option exists in this tool)?
- Is there a solution or a manipulation to perform at the print preview stage from Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Basically, my main question is: what is the best way to fix this problem?

Thank you in advance, and I wish you all a great end to your day ;)

PS: There's a good chance I posted in the wrong section; I wasn't quite sure where to place this topic, I'm sorry about that ^^'

Without suitable software for managing bleed areas... avoid it!..... Leave 4 or 5 mm of white space around the edge of your A4 sheet.....

With Acrobat Reader, you cannot modify the page areas of a PDF file.

Another thing... If you can place colored areas at the edge of the page in your PDF file, your printer needs to be a borderless model to print it; otherwise, it is impossible to have a full-page print. Unless you use larger paper and then cut it down to A4 size.

Good evening, thank you for your response!
I conclude that my printer is not compatible and that I cannot print without bleed.
But in the case where the printer is a borderless model, where can we configure this option with or without margins?

Thank you

It depends on the printers. The so-called "Photo" printers often have this option, but they can only print on paper formats designed for photos...
If you invest in a borderless printer, make sure that this is available for all formats and types of paper.
