Re: [MiKTeX] PDFLaTeX scales document

[August <fus...@te...>]

Thanks Hubert, it solved the problem. The strange thing is that the 
default option "Shrink large pages" in Acrobat Reader affects even 
documents that use the LaTeX option `a4paper'. Once I have changed 
"Page scaling" to "None" everything is okay.

Regards,
August
