If you mean Adobe Reader (not Acrobat) I think the answer is to
ensure the box 'Choose paper source by PDF page size' is ticked
in the bottom left of the print dialogue window. You will then
see the page dimensions are 8.27 x 11.69. The page will not be
re-scaled if you set Page Scaling 'None'. You will see both
document and paper are then shown the same, and the same as the
dimensions on the picture of what is going to come out of the
printer. Intuitive it is not :-(
BTW, do you or any other reader know how to set the default
dimension units to cm or mm ?
Brian.
