So, have you tried the full bleed paper size?

Yes.

Why have two sets of margins? The title block already plots within the margins of the plotter. Get rid of the margin issue in the paper size. Problem solved.

I have not changed any default settings for any ANSI sizes. The margins for the full bleed plot to pdf are default. If I make a change I do it under custom paper sizes and label it with my initials.

that .03 is default. I've only pulled it up for reference.

It was a rhetorical question not really directed at you.

Does the PDF print properly with the full bleed paper size?

No. It does print the whole thing but the margins are tiny at the bottom left and very wide up top and right. On the regular paper it cuts off the top and right lines. I think mj is close...I would like to center it on regular paper so I don't have to explain what I did, it just looks and prints correct. I'm still "green" here.

lol...I'm going back and forth myself. I have to keep all of this straight or my settings will end up very confusing.  :-D

I get it now .. look at your Plot offset numbers in the lower left corner .. they should not be zeroes unless you have something defining the full extents of the paper. I personally plot to 'extents' then check the option 'center the plot'.

and what you got going on here?

Shouldn't I be able to change the default output device in options? that's just what will automatically pop up when I go to plot unless I change it, isn't it? The other is the same as your pic, mj.

actually the plot offset number should be zeros....

IF you have set your title block/border and inked area limits correctly...or you are using some b@stard printer that forces you to use an offset
however typically for PDF NO offsets are required

keep in mind that 0,0 in paperspace can be (should be) intersection of printable area...or if you cant do that mathedge of paper check in  options

in my world I find printable area easier to use than edge of paper....create your border block accordingly...
and expect some shifting to occur when you set your named page setup current....

Exactly .. me thinks this is not the case. The example you provided does not either if you 'Apply to Layout'.
