RE: PDF weirdness
Good luck, Cynthia. I've forgotten all of the details, but I've had this happen in FM 6 and FM 7, too, so we can't blame FM 9 for this one. I'm pretty sure the settings were on the Frame side. Sorry if a bit vague, but I'd suggest you double-check the Print Setup settings at the book level and make sure you have A4 under Paper - Size. Hopefully, you're printing to the Adobe PDF instance. Double-check the Adobe settings and make sure that page size is A4 also. The other place to check is the Page Size settings under Format - Document - PDF setup. Do this at the book level and you can handle every chapter at once. If all three of those spots (Print Setup, Adobe PDF Page Size, and Format Doc) are set for A4, you should be good. If not, hopefully others on the list will have further ideas.

RE: PDF weirdness
Hi Cynthia, I remember to encounter this every some months (FrameMaker 8). What helped was just a restart FrameMaker and Acrobat and create the PDF file anew. Do you scale the PDF to window size when you open the PDF? If yes, this is the reason why you did not notice this yourself first.

Re: PDF weirdness
Not a dry seat in the house - the (A4) page was a tiny rectangle in the middle of the sheet. When I fired up the PDF in Reader on my laptop it reported being displayed at 779% of actual size. This sounds familiar. I seem to recall Dov Isaacs of Adobe describing a Windows GDI bug with certain documents, particularly larger documents set with a high DPI, or documents with large type. I don't recall the explanation of the bug, but the correction is to go into the AdobePDF driver and set the dpi from something higher down to 600 dpi.
