My document is size S4, ie \setuppapersize[S4][S4] I am typesetting as PDF (with pdftex), view with Acroread 3.02 and get a nice 400x300pt on the screen. However, when I print, the document appears too far down and to the left. If I try printing bigger than 100%, it moves even further to the right so that part of the document is off the page. Selecting to print as landscape doesn't seem to improve things. My guess is that the BoundingBox isn't where it is supposed to be. I'm not much of a PDF guru, but I'd say the BoundingBox (0 0 399 299) is correct given the MediaBox in the PDF file ([0 0 398.5 298.88]). Is this a known problem? Is there a better way to print a document of this size? Ideally, I want to print it scaled so that it takes up as much of a landscape A4 page as possible. Oh, Ghostscript spits the dummy completely so I'm more or less forced to use Acroread. I get the same results on Solaris and IRIX. - Matthew -- Dr. Matthew Baker matthew.baker@gmd.de GMD - FIT.MMK http://fit.gmd.de/hci/pages/matthew.baker.html
