Thanks for the article. Unfortunately, even with the page scaling set to "none" I'm still having documents print out smaller than the originals (converted from Word 2000 with PrimoPDF). I know that my printer can handle the necessary area (I can print the document from Word with no problems at all) so I'm totally baffled as to why printing the pdf version causes it to shrink.

It's really very odd.

I am sending a .pdf document by email for a company to print. They just called and told me the first two letters in each row are cut. Since I have no access to their printers, how can I change my document from my end?
Thanks!

You'll have to adjust the margins when you create the PDF.

Thanks for the answer to,"Why Don't PDF's Print At Same Size As Original?" It's a real aggravation to print from A PDF and the print comes out so small you can barely read it. I just rescaled my page to "none" and it worked beautifully.We struggle with these little things and it doesn't occur to us sometimes to just "Ask Leo!" Mary Ann

Nice explanation, Leo. I print a lot of ebooks and sometimes I need to 'put' more on the page. I mean make it more readable. This article helps me with this issue. I'll work with this and I always can print just one page and see the results.
thanks Leo
