Printing page tiles cuts off some elements entirely.

I have a large document that I need to print by page tiles such that you can tape them together like a puzzle after printing. Despite all of my efforts in adjusting the margin settings elements are always cut off when I print the document by page tiles. It's as if there's a "dead zone" in the document where nothing prints. Even when I set the page margin to 0 and print from edge-to-edge of my letter-sized paper there's still approximately a half of an inch worth of elements that get omitted when I print and lay them out side-by-side.

Hi Eugene

Thanks for reaching out to the Lucid community. It sounds like this could be related to your printer. To test this I recommend setting the margins to 0 in the page settings and exporting the document to a PDF divided by page tiles. If this successfully exports a PDF that has no gaps or dead zones then the margins added to the document are likely due to your printer's settings.

Hope this helps!
