#HOW TO GET PDF FILE TO PRINT CORRECTLY PDF#

I believe I've seen/inspected all available settings for specifying page sizes and scaling - Adobe used to offer the PDFMaker add-in for Word, which manifested itself as a Word tab called 'Acrobat,' and therein one could see PDF settings, but this tab has long since disappeared with a previous Acrobat update. However they both use the same Adobe PDF default settings specifying A4 paper size.

I should also say that over years of Adobe updates I seem to have two different Adobe products for creating PDFs both the aforementioned Distiller as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended (v. I suspect there is some scaling or default page sizing going on but where/how to change it? In Word 2010 you do this via: File -> Options -> Advanced, and deselect the setting 'Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11' paper sizes' in the Print section. I've solved this problem in previous versions by simply deselecting print scaling in Microsoft Word or in Distiller. It's almost as if Distiller is stubbornly scaling the document to a different page size no matter which settings are specified.

I've searched the internet far and wide in order to understand why, when converting a Word 2010 document to PDF in Windows 7 (via Adobe Distiller ), the top and bottom margins of the resulting PDF file are automatically increased (thereby shrinking the content on the page somewhat) despite having uniformly and everywhere set A4 paper size in Word 2010 and Adobe default PDF settings.
