MS Office 2003 Pro, Excel

A simple A4 portrait document, one page, one chart at the end of the page,
margins:
Left: 1.3; Right: 1.3; Top: 1.3; Bottom: 1.3; Header: 1.3; Footer: 1.3
(centimetres)

Printer: Adobe PDF (distiller) version 6.

The printed content starts from the top of the page (there is no blank space
of 1.3 cm).
If I set the Top margin to 2.9, then the blank space will be about 1.2 cm.
Also there is additional space on the right side of the page.

Also the sizes of the objects in chart are not as shown in the normal view
and print preview.

Is it true that Office and Acrobat does not like each other or MS Office
products have some problems with printing? I know that if I create a
document at home and then print it on another computer, It wont look the
same. What can I do?

IS your default printer as PostScript unit (you do not actually have to own
a physical prin ter of that type, just pretend) When I set mine to HP Laser
PS (which I do have) then the PDF file and the hardcopy are the same. This
is not so when my default printer is set to a DeskJet unit.

In a hurry - she who must be obeyed calls! - but there is an Acrobat setting
; something about page fill that you should check.

Hope this helps
