Printing to PDF

when printing to adobe pdf from msword the document seems to be scaled, we've
checked that no scaling options are checked. the document is just formatted
different when selecting any other printer or the adobe printer. when
printing the pdf it seems to be scaled to 95%, the margins, footer and header
are also not the correct size. ie. 1" margins are 1.125" and header and
footer are .25 larger than there supposed to be.

What is the paper size setting for the PDF printer? Click on Properties in
the File>Print dialog.

All the page sizes both for Word and Adobe are set to 8.5 x 11. What it
looks like is happening is if there is a table that is at the bottom of the
page. The internal formatting of word with adobe pushes the end of the table
to another page. We can't find a way to change the preferences in word or
adobe to rectify the situation.

Set the Adobe driver as the active printer driver and re-adjust the
formatting before creating the PDF.
What you then see in print preview is what should be in the PDF.
