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?

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
