You can also easily crop the section you want to print in Acrobat 6, then print same size or fill the page.

Thanks Leonard. I'll track down a V6 reader machine and test it!

OK...

Understandable...

Actually, with Acrobat/Reader 6 you CAN! There is a new
tool on the toolbar called the Snapshot tool, which allows you to
select an area of the PDF. Normally it is used for capturing a
section of the PDF as an image - BUT it also works to define a
limited area for printing!
So users can just select the limited area they wish to print
and away they go. I have verified it works fine in Reader 6 when
stand alone, but haven't tried in browser - though I can't see it not
working there...
