Accounting for Physical Printer Margins

  • Do you have any guidelines for accounting for physical printer margins when creating a PDF? Many laser printers can't print to the outer 1/4 inch of the paper. I know that Acrobat Reader can scale when printing a document to account for this, however I'd like to account for it somewhat generally when creating my PDFs to avoid having the entire document scaled down when printed.

    Do you think assuming a outer margin of 1/4 inch is reasonable?
