Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Document size (dimensions) reduction in PDF

Here is my question:
When you print directly, you get it the correct margins.
Are you getting the wrong margins when you print the PDF file, or does 
the PDF file have the wrong margins?

It was unclear to me.

It there is headers and footers in the page, there may be the issue of 
the PDF file being too "large" for printing on the paper without "shrink 
to fit page" option being used.  I have had that issue pop up before 
myself, but I do not know if that is the same as the user's issue.

Then there is the question on what is the margins set for and what are 
you getting with the Export to PDF option?

Have you tried a PDF printer, like doPDF for Windows and CUPS-PDF for 
Linux?  If the problem is the printing of the PDF document, print the 
document using a PDF printer [like a physical printer but only to a PDF 
file].  Then print that document to see if the margin/size issue is the 
same.  If so, then it is a printer issue printing the PDF file.  If not, 
then it is the Export to PDF option that is causing the issue.
