Default letter size looks like legal size when viewing

Hi Everyone.

Every time I save a (Microsoft) Word document as a PDF, I know that the document is contained within the boundaries of letter size but there is extra room on the top and bottom of the document that makes it look legal size. And I see the same thing even when viewing from a different computer. Does anyone know how to get rid of this?

I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hello,

if you use Acrobat Reader, you cna check the paper size bymoving your mouse to the lower left area of the document. AR then displays the paper format.

I do a lot of work for some lawyers in atlanta and optimizing pdfs for them goes pretty quick.
