Trevor,
Thanks for the response. Yes, I'm talking about printing from a 3rd-party application after the PDF has been generated. If the PDF document generated by LPub3D identifies the background (color, image, gradient) as a background layer, then Acrobat Reader (and probably other apps) can suppress printing it. The actual content of the page would be in another layer.
I tried setting the background to "transparent" but it appears that LPub3D generates a white background for the PDF document. When I tried to add a background layer using another product (PDFedit995) after generating the PDF, I could tell that the layer was there, but it was completely obscured by the LPub3D content and its white background.
As for the white band when using the default of A4, I think it may have to do with an incorrect setting within LPub3D. The correct size in inches is 8.2677 x 11.6929. If LPub3D is actually rounding this size to 8.3 x 11.7, then my guess is that the page is being shrunk to fit the actual A4 format. Since the short edge is "more bigger" than A4 than the long edge is, the resulting shrunk page is shorter than 11.6929, resulting in white space.
LPub3D can display the page size to 4 digits of precision. I'm hoping that the default sizes are stored the same way. In which case, all it may take is a correction of the default size(s).
