Workaround to eliminate wide side borders for full-bleed PDF Captures

Question

Here is a workaround to get captures that are the entire width of the page. Since FireShot is mandating minimum 1280 width for PDF captures, I set my captures resizing in the OPTIONS to also be 1280 while leaving "Do not enlarge" unchecked. Now all captures are zoomed in or out to be 1280 wide with proportionate height.

Here's how:
1. From the FireShot menu, click MISCELLANEOUS/OPTIONS/CAPTURING/"Specify resizing options and sounds - CLICK TO SETUP".
2. In the "Resize Capture" section, the dropdown default is "Do not resize". Change that to "Set width to..." and then add "1280" to the pixel field, since that is the only size permitted by FireShot at present moment.
3. Make sure that "Do not enlarge" is NOT checked, and click OK.
4. Also click OK on the bottom of the OPTIONS page.

To get full-bleed from side to side, set side margins to 0" and page size set to "Auto" on the pop-up "Export to PDF" window.

Thank you for sharing this solution!
