most pdf viewers or printer dialogues have an option "scale page to  
fit printer margins" or something similar. i've run into this issue  
before when i've forgotten to ensure that the printer doesn't scale  
the printout.

technical reasoning behind this option is that a lot of pdfs have  
content all the way to the edge of the page and this content would  
otherwise be cut off in the printout, so by default, the printer  
driver will scale a pdf down to fit the printer margins.

hope that helps you solve your problem.

sb
