Any idea ?
Elementary my dear: only a few printers are able to print that close to the border; printers always need a small margin; it's a technical issue, inherent to desktop printers. Adobe Reader knows this, and shrinks the document so that it fits these margins by default. You can tell Adobe NOT to shrink the document using the ViewerPreference PrintScalingNone. This will prevent the page from scaling, but you risk that part of your page is cut off because the printer can't put ink on a page that close to the border; read your printer manual to know how much space you lose. It will be different for different types of printers. br, Bruno Lowagie ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
