RE: [MiKTeX] PDFLaTeX scales document

[Hubert L. <hub...@st...>]

Yes -- Acrobat Reader's "Shrink page..." option shrinks a4paper PDFs to what
your printer driver specifies as the t/b/l/r margins. That can be up to 5.2%
on my Epson EPL-6200L laser.

That's when the geometry package's "margin" option can cause troubles --
I've specified some docs to have a margin of 2cm, but put in fancyhdr's
header & footer, the footer gets pushed to the limit of the bottom of the
page, and hence Acrobat Reader has to shrink the page content to fit within
the printer driver's dimensions.
