Pete et al:
I don't know if it is of any use, but one of the options on my system (Acrobat
Exchange 3.0/NT 3.51) in the print dialog box is "Shrink to Fit". If that is an
option on yours, you might be able to try this out to see what it does. I don't
have any A4 paper, or I would do it myself. My suspicion is that you would end
up with an increased margin on the top or bottom of the page to compensate for
the narrower width.

I asked earlier this week about PDFs and US Standard
vs European paper sizes. Specifically, I was interested in any
possible problems with printing a PDF formatted to 8 1/2 by 11 with
the narrower A4 paper.
