Marc,

Thank you for your suggestions. I've had no success.
What is the LibreOffice profile and what is its function?

I haven't found a way to change the margins when printing a booklet in acroread. The 
default margins are bigger than I want.

At the rate I am going I might remove 4.0.1.2 and revert to 3.5 - but that would be 
to admit defeat :-)


Cheers,

Jeff
