Problems with margins

Post by ganda97 »

Good morning,

I'm having some formatting issues. I'm using Winshell as my editor. When I create a document and view/print it using DVI, my margins are correct. When I create the document, convert to PS and then PDF, my margins change by about 1/8 of an inch.

Any idea what is going on?

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi Ariel,

check the settings in the print dialog (Adobe Reader perhaps) if there's a scaling option set or something like resize to fit to page or fit to print area and unmark those setting if necessary.

Can't believe how dumb I am. You are right, it wasn't the conversion to PDF but the way I was printing the PDF.

Thanks
