Hi,


it could be this:

please correct me if I am wrong. Also check your printing settings for both applications (Word and your default PDF viewer).

best regards,

Hey

no that diden't work it's still smaller then if i print it for Word directly 

4

What are your settings for margins in word and your default pdf viewer?

5

pdf viewer is 25 mm all around and word it 25,4mm

6

but the difference is more than 0.4mm on each side i guess?

7

yep about a 1 cm but i just tried for fun to change it and it didn’t make any difference 

8

have you made any settings regarding the document size inside the PDFCreator options?

Which version of PDFCreator are you using?
Currently I don’t really have a clue why this is happening.
9

i am using the newest version of PDFCreator and haven’t made any changes to it

but here is the 2 files the word document and the PDF i get

thank you, we will have a look at those and hopefully find out what is going on

Hi,


i was able to print both documents with the same margins, only setting I changed was in Adobe Readers printing settings instead “fit” (which shrinks the document by 4%) use “actual size”.
