Question: I am using the VeryPDF PDFprint Command Line program and it appears there are no options for setting the printer margins when printing a PDF. Is this correct? I searched the parameter list but I can not find any parameter allowing me to set margins. Does this software support it? Is there a solution to solve this matter?
