FAQ: Is it possible to create a user-defined printer margin for an ArcMap layout?
Question
Is it possible to create a user-defined printer margin for an ArcMap layout?
Answer
No, ArcMap only displays printer-defined margins. ArcMap has the ability to add user-defined guides.
See the link in the Related Information below for more information on setting guides.
Note:
The user-defined margins in ArcView GIS commonly caused clipping problems when they did not match the actual printer margins.
