This sounds stupid, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to print the manual PDFs with different margins to properly clear a 3-hole punch. I'm trying to build a very good copy of all the documentation for my use, but I can't figure or a way to shift it. I know someone has to have a trick out there.

And yes, I could (and probably still will) load all the docs up to a iPad Mini, but after poking at this a few days, it's the principle of the thing!

Spend a few dollars and take it to Staples or your local printing place. They can help with the alignment, and their three hole drills create a slightly larger hole.

If it's completed info check into their spiral bindings. One year I had them spiral bind the small chapters/sections and then three hole punch to fit them all into a 4" binder. Roboteers could take an individual section, use it without the loss or mixup of any pages and return it back to the master binder.

Thanks for the suggestion Foster, I'll probably do that next year, not worth the headache!

I actually tried something different this morning and so far its working. I tired PDF-XChange Viewer and it give me just enough options for it to work.

I ended up setting Page Scaling to "Fit to printer margins" then checked "Auto-Centre pages in sheets" and it givers just enough of a bump to clear the 3 hole punch I'm using. I had not tried another viewer! >.<
