[Hidden-tech] need help with pdf from Quark 7.3

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Deborah,

It may be related to your printer trying to scale the image to fit on  
the page's default image area.
You can usually choose your application's page setup (Mac), choose  
your printer, and paper size, and then set it to print at 100%. There  
method is similar on a PC, probably through a print dialog box. The   
main thing to look for is the percentage size to print the document at.

Here's some info from Adobe, if Acrobat is the app you're using to  
print from:

Scale pages (page scaling)

Page scaling reduces, enlarges, or divides pages when you print. If  
your PDF file does not print at the size you expect (that is, the  
output is either larger or smaller than you anticipated), then select  
Page Scaling in the Print dialog box. To select this setting, choose  
File > Print, and then select an option from the Page Scaling menu.  
For a complete description of each option, consult the section  
entitled "Printing Adobe PDF Documents" in Acrobat Help.

You can also set a default page scaling on a document-by-document  
basis as well as some other Print dialog options:

    1. Open a PDF in Acrobat and choose File > Document Properties.
    2. Click on the Advanced tab and select the desired options for  
the Print Dialog Presets.
    3. Click OK to dismiss this dialog.
    4. Choose File > Save, or File > Save As to apply the new defaults  
to the PDF file.

Hope this helped...

Best,
Kimo Lee
