Speculating: Might it be that the media box is fitted inside the _printer_ margin? I.e., that the extra margin's you see is what the the printer driver says? At least in Acrobat this is what happens (if you say 'Fit to page' and print an A4 pdf on A4 paper, you get a 96% scaling, cause it is fitted to the printable area - and not the page). /Konrad ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
