I think that you need to set the margins on one corner with xmargin
and ymargin, and on the other side from the plot aspect ratio, the
page size and width or height. This gives me a pdf with no borders:

IDL> p=plot(/test,dimensions=[1100,850],position=[0.,0.,1.,1.])
IDL> p.save,'test.pdf',width=11.,xmargin=0.,ymargin=0.,/landscape
