Title: Accurate printing onto pre printed forms

Even with printers of the same make and model the offset will be different. There's no solution other than tailoring for each printer.

Subject: [iText-questions] Accurate printing onto pre printed forms

I would like to use iText to print data onto some preprinted forms, but find that the absolute positioning wrt the bottom left edge of the paper differs when the PDF file is printed using Acrobat on different printers, even with the options "Shrink oversized pages to paper size", "expand small pages to paper size", and "auto-rotate and center pages" turned off, and the page size set correctly.

So far as I can tell, printing seems to be accurate if Postscript printer drivers are used, but my users may not be willing to change their installations, and also I wonder if this holds true for all printer models. Have I missed something ? Is there any other way to get the x, y origin (0, 0) to be positioned at the bottom left paper edge on all printers ?
