Reduce blank page borders in exported PDF from OrCAD Capture

Gabor Sz

In OrCAD Capture, when I export a schematic to PDF, there is a fairly large blank border outside the "Grid Reference," as if the PDF itself needed borders like a printer that can't "bleed" to the page edge.  If I use some other print to PDF utility, I can usually set page borders to zero.  Unfortunately this results in a PDF document with only the visible information, while PDF export includes embedded symbol properties and bookmarks.  Here's the corner of a drawing showing the extra white space around it.  The schematic page size and selected PDF page size were the same.

Is there some way to reduce or remove the blank borders in the PDF output when using PDF Export in Capture CIS 17.2?

    If this is a concern, you need to get this reported to Cadence Support, either directly or through your Cadence Channel Partner since, as far as I can tell, there is no control over this in the export PDF and, also, multiple pages seem to have differing "border" amounts.
