David,


I've just been informed that the information I gave was
rather incomplete and perhaps misleading.

Evidently, Acrobat *also* shrinks documents designed for your
paper size... evidently because some applications draw right up to the
limit of the page, rather than allowing a margin to allow for
printers' limited printable area...

I'd still turn off the "fit to paper" option though, and see if
that improves things...
