All,
   
  We have a quick reference guide that uses a (US) legal-size landscape layout. 
It is set up in FM as a custom page size 14x8" with 3 columns in the text 
frame. It's to be printed duplex and then folded accordian-style. Initially, we 
were going to be working with a professional printer, but now the customers are 
requiring that we deliver the file in PDF format. So far, no big deal, right? 
Well, when the customers print the PDF of the file, it doesn't align properly 
on the paper. It's as if the printer is adding an additional 1/4" margin to the 
top (long) edge if it's printed directly from FM. If we create the PDF file 
first and THEN print the PDF on the same printer, there seems to be an 
additional margin added to both the long and short edges (top and left).
   
  I'm assuming these odd results are due to the printer drivers involved. In 
light of the fact that we cannot know what printers our customers might use, is 
there any way that we can make some settings in the PDF Setup in FM 7.2 or in 
Distiller 7 that would default the printer settings to "no margin" to get a 
proper print result?  Otherwise, the only thing I know to do is provide a 
ReadMe file to the customer informing them that the file is to be printed on 
legal paper, but due to variances in printer drivers, we cannot guarantee 
alignment of the layout...?
   
  Thanks,
  Rene Stephenson
