Under Windows, it works perfectly - make sure you put the non-printable area
in the PDF Writer (or PS driver) to NONE.

I never found a way to do the same on Macs.

If you are using a Mac, I suggest you define your page as 9 by 11.5,
generate the PDF, then crop it to 8 1/2 by 11 (for instance) in Acrobat
Exchange. There is a single command to do all the pages.
