Paper Size vs. Document Size

Jan 11, 2010 10:15 AM

In Acrobat 7.0 I have a pdf file of a British Technical/Scientific paper.  When I print it the lowest part of the pages--it seems like a quarter of an inch including the last line of text and the page number--is cut off.  In the Print window I can see what seems to be the problem: The Paper Size is 8.5 x 11 but the Document Size is 8.3 x 11.7.  That difference in length would seem to explain how my problem arises.  But how can I fix it?  Is there a way to reduce the Document size to fit the paper size?  So far I have not been able to find a solution.  My Canon printer provides for manual scaling but this scales the document down--but still cuts off the last line and the page number.  I am using WinXP SP3.  The file is attached.  Any advice would be appreciated!

    Thanks!  It works perfectly!  I even saved my original "oversize" document by printing it to PDF with the scaling so the problem is permanently cured, at least for this document.
