Limit white space when printing BI Reports

What Canvas Settings or other BI Settings do I need to mimimze white space when printing reports?

 

When I print a report with pages created by corporate, the printed pages have no more than 1/8 inch of white space around the entire printed page.   

 

For the BI Report that I am creating and after I export it to PDf and print I can get no closer than a 1/2 inch white space.   


What am I missing?

Hi, @bdehning 

Currently you can only manually resize the page and fine-tune the position of objects on the report canvas to limit whitespace.

It is recommended to select 'Actual Size' to display content at full size then you can customize the actual page size on page format pane. It allows you to better fine tune the position of objects on the report canvas.

I have gotten close with View Actual Size and Canvas Setting Custom.  I used 980 by 1280 and middle.  Still not as close to edge as another PDF POwer Bi Report I print and can not see their settings.  The other report I print as margains of 5/16"

 

Any suggestions on how to eliminate a litle more white space?  

 

I currently PDF print and have White Margins L - 10/16", Top - 8/16", R - 13/16" and Bottom - 11/16".
