Yes I have!

The problem is simple - if I select "scale to fit" then I'm not getting 
an exact image, and if I select "don't scale", the image is offset down 
and right by the non-printable margin.

If I've gone to the trouble of telling the pdf what size paper I've got, 
I'd like to be able to print accurately on that size paper :-)

I do not seem to be able to tell Acrobat to lay an A4 image exactly over 
a sheet of A4.
