PDF Generation has gian margins

I am creating a PDF from a Google doc. I have tried the Custom Margins off and on (with 0 margins), but it always creates very wide margins. I set the margins on my Google doc to zero. Here are the two screen shots. First the doc:

Now, the generated PDF:

3X_9_9_990ad5518859b601af8eb0590dfc97c212dbe7e7.png819×225 9.83 KB

Note that it is wrapping the column headings even though there is plenty of space on the right.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Scott

Is is set to Landscape orientation? I think I’ve seen this same thing before recently-ish when trying to make a template/PDF on Landscape.

Nope, portrait for the zero margins:

But it was set to landscape for the default margins. When I switched it to portrait, the results were better, but still not great:

Is this as good as it gets?

Thanks

Huh?

The first of two tests I did with default margins did have the incorrect setting of landscape. Once I switched to portrait I got the above better result. But is this the smallest I can make the margins?

I think that you can’t go to the absolute borders. I might be wrong though
