      Is there a way to remove the 1px black border surrounding the artboard?

      I don’t think so. You could go into Presentation Mode (Shift-W), which makes the background black by default, so you can’t see the black line.

      Just out of curiosity, why would you want to remove it?

      Thanks for the help. It would be nice to not see the border, just a little cleaner and more realistic to visualise a mobile layout for a website. (you can work in Photoshop without a border)
      My document is something like 640 x 4000 px so when I Shift-W that won’t be much help.
      I tried creating the following script that puts Indesign into presentation mode at 100% zoom. But as far as I’m aware you can’t scroll while in Presentation mode so alas this isn’t quite the solution I was looking for

      main();

      function main()
      {
      try{

      app.activeWindow.screenMode = ScreenModeOptions.PRESENTATION_PREVIEW;
      app.activeWindow.zoomPercentage = (72/109*100);
      }catch(e){}
      }

        I’m sorry, but I’m speechless. I just can’t believe folks are worried about stuff like that.

        Good luck finding a solution, and I mean that sincerely.

        I’ve just never seen requests like that.

      Change the preview background to Black.
