Exporting container fields as PDF

i have been asked to create printing templates (business cards,envelopes etc) using data in our FM 9 system and PDF backgrounds supplied by the printer.

The problem is that if I try to save a small PDF, like a business card, the output file is a full page with the little card in the northwest corner.

Is there any way to output this PDF in 100% scale without the extraneous white space and without using another program to trim or crop?

Thanks

I believe the size of the page you get is set in the Page Setup... dialog.
