You can set up acrobat to 'print fit' which solves this problem.

You have a lot of control over the mapping. Try this (can be mixed in
one document):
\setupoutput[pdftex] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=screen]
\starttext
\setuppapersize[S4][A4] \setuplayout[location=middle] A centered page on
A4. \page
\setuppapersize[S4][A4] \setuplayout[location={top,left}] Moved to the
top. \page
\setuppapersize[S4][S4] A typical screen page. \page
\setuppapersize[S4][A4] \setuplayout[scale=1.5] Scaled. \page
\setuppapersize[S4][A4,landscape] \setuplayout[scale=2] Landscaped and
scaled.
\stoptext

Hm. My GS here works ok. But Tobias is the GS guru amongst us, so maybe
he knows.
